Not only are Australians migrating across the ditch in droves, but they're also losing some of their best talent to the booming creative and tech industry hub of Wellington. Among the recent arrivals is Dan Ferguson, who moved to Wellington from Sydney six months ago after being poached by online auction site Trade Me. And it's working, with 54 companies featured on Deloitte's Fast 500 Asia Pacific list last year, 13 of them in Wellington. "Admittedly, I sometimes travel back to Melbourne when an artist I want to see comes down - they do often skip Wellington." He said Wellington was perfectly placed for a tech hub, with Singapore Airlines having just announced a new route via Canberra.
