Whale vomit is valuable!!!

STREAKY Bay couple Loralee and Leon Wright have discovered one of nature's most valuable treasures - a 14.75kg lump of solid whale vomit worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The Wrights found the lump of ambergris, an excretion from a sperm whale, while driving along Yanerbie beach, south of Streaky Bay, looking for schools of salmon.

Mrs Wright said at first they were not sure what the object was but, after driving past it several times, they decided to collect it and have it tested.

The best ambergris is as valuable as gold and it has been speculated the Wrights' find could be worth between $400,000 and $1 million.
