Hi Itsme,
Have you taken a look at the "PLEASE READ...." and "Thinking of emigrating" posts? They cover some of the things you are looking for.
I can't help you with schools since I don't have kids.
Best areas depend on what you are looking for. It's hotter up north and cooler down south. Sydney is the most expensive State city whereas Adelaide is the cheapest.
If you get a permanent visa then you can buy when you get here, if you get a temporary visa you can still buy but you need Foreign Investment Board (FIRB) approval (see link in "PLEASE READ...." post).
You can check the visa types since I'm not sure about whole family migration. We came over on a skilled independent visa and my parents are still trying to decide whether they want to move over or not.
Regards,
Karen
