My record from 17 July
I photographed and filmed the white whale at Mallacoota on 17 July 2022. It was a bleached humpback that had been dead in the water for a few weeks. I’ve kept the photographs, video and 360 view together here as a record of that day.
The identification I shared at the time said it was not Migaloo. The statement attributed to DELWP officers described a sub-adult female humpback, while Migaloo is male. That distinction belongs with the pictures, rather than leaving the colour to tell the whole story.
I have not added an explanation beyond what was clear at the time: a bleached humpback, dead in the water for a few weeks, then recorded here on 17 July.
