Call Me Ishmael -- Moby Dick in Australia

"Call me Mad Minerva. Some years ago - never mind how long precisely - having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world . . . "

OK, enough Herman Melville and 19th-century American literature, but I simply have to announce:

Moby Dick is in Australia! 

Why is the white whale celebrity of literature in Australian waters?  Trying to find Captain Ahab?  No.  I think our whale friend was really there to attend Nicole Kidman's wedding along with all the other celebrities!
