176 : To Go for WA or to Wait for SA

[Guest dilemman]

Hi all,

 

Though this is my first post I am a regular visitor of this forum. So, Hi!:smile:

 

Today, I have got state sponsorship from WA. It took only 3 days from the date I applied to get the approval and I am really surprised by this super fast process.

 

However, I am in a dilemma whether to apply to 176 with the current offer or wait till SouthAusi to open their SM plan. I am really confused because I like both the places. All the threads in pominoz which discussed Perth vs Adelaide have confused me a lot.

 

I am from Sri Lanka, which has 25 c all day and night, super cool beaches, hill countries, Forests: all lovely spots accessible in 3 hours of car drive. I am moving just because I can upgrade my quality of life. At the same time I don't want to miss my lovely climate and nature of my country. (And of course food)

 

I am an electronic engineer specialised in Firmware. And also I have experience in S/W as an indie freelancer. I think Perth will have more job opportunities for me. But, SA sounds like more closer to my Country's climate.

 

I know I should sacrifice to get something, but I want to do that with some of your advice.

 

Anyone who could give some advice, who could think with me for me? :confused:

 

Thank you.

Hi, congrats, have you visited either?

 

I am concerned that you may think this country may be like your own, when in fact it is its own, and different to anywhere else. You probably WILL miss your climate and nature and of course the food. I am not trying to be mean but just pointing out, the similarities may be limited and it can be confusing if you are looking for your own country within Australia which is a foreign country on a different continent.

 

I may not have helped, im sorry, but good luck choosing which will suit you best

Hi Gold , I appreciate your reply. Thank you.

 

No Gold, I haven't been to Australia. All the knowledge I have is from reading these forums and watching youtube. And I know that is not enough to come to a decision. Anyway, I just wanted to ask people rather than keeping it inside and struggling myself.

 

Of course, I can not expect a Sri Lanka inside Auzi. But, I hear people say the country which has closer climate to SriLanka is Auzi.

 

If someone could suggest a place which suits my career and where I can enjoy lot of outdoor activities, it would be great.

 

Moderate temperature (20-30 c), less humidity, 2 months of raining and 10 months of clear sky, lot of trees, pathways for cycling, nice beaches, less traffic... If I can have them, i wont miss my Lanka. Any place closer to this is a Paradise. Please do laugh at me If I am really greedy.

 

Thank you people.
