Migaloo Is Back

It must be Migaloo. They think it's Migaloo. If it is, Migaloo's back.

For several years since 1991, the albino humpback whale named Migaloo has been spotted off the eastern Australian coast during the whale migration season.

As the whales travel north from the Antarctic to Australia's Great Barrier Reef, they have been seen close to the coast and have been spotted frolicking in Sydney Harbour close to the Sydney Opera House and in Manly Cove... and near many towns and islands along the New South Wales and Queensland coasts.

But what about Migaloo? According to the Pacific Whale Foundation, Migaloo is the only known occurrence of an all-white humpback whale, and has been compared to the fictional Moby Dick.

Now Migaloo has been sighted off Queensland's Gold Coast after having been spotted in Byron Bay yesterday.

Welcome back, Migaloo. Glad to see you back in Australia.
