Migaloo sighted in the Whitsundays

John Dyson, Skipper of Fantasea Adventure Cruising vessel ‘Wonder’, sighted Migaloo the Albino Humpback Whale, on the way home to Shute Harbour from Hardy Reef (51 nautical miles from the mainland), east of the Whitsunday Islands at approximately 4pm on August 25.  John held Wonder for around half an hour to allow all 113 guests on board to observe Migaloo.  This was a very rare sighting and is believed to be the first sighting of Migaloo in the Whitsunday waters this season. In season, whales are regularly seen from our vessels when travelling to and from Reefworld and other destinations.
