A famous white humpback whale has
been spotted on his annual migration to Australia's north.
Migaloo is known for his
distinctive colouring and for many years was the only documented all-white
humpback whale in the world.
He has been sighted off the coast
of New South Wales state, including the resort town of Byron Bay.
Migaloo's journey up Australia's
east coast has attracted large numbers of whale enthusiasts.
Migaloo is estimated to be about 28 years old - humpback whales
typically live for up to 50 years
The 14m-long mammal was spotted
with a companion during his venture north but now appears to be travelling
solo.
A Twitter account run by
the White Whale Research
Centre provides real-time updates of the whale's whereabouts.
