THE world's only known albino humpback whale has cruised past Sydney's 
coastline today, heading north for winter.

Affectionately know as Migaloo, an Aboriginal word meaning white or white 
fella, the whale was first sighted off the Queensland coast in 1991. 
It is one of around 4,000 humpback whales which travel along the east coast 
from June to November annually. 
Migaloo was sighted off Sydney's premier whale watching lookout at Cape 
Solander in Botany Bay National Park late this morning. 
It is believed to be the same whale seen off Fraser Island last year and 
which was injured by a passing boat near Townsville several years ago.
