Moby Dick has been spotted off Australia!

Captain Ahab has said to be readying his boat...

Ok maybe not, and maybe it isn't Moby Dick, but a white humpback whale has been seen near the Great Barrier Reef by tourists in the past week. Said to be a 12ft calf, Moby was seen with its pod on their south migration, where he/she is fattening up ready for the cold of the Antarctic.

Very jealous of the lucky so-and-so who happened to be diving nearby at the time, as there is estimated to be only 10-15 white whales amongst the 15,000 humpback population around Australia's East Coast.
