Whale 'vomit' sparks cash bonanza

An Australian couple who picked up an odd-looking fatty lump from a quiet beach are in line for a cash windfall.
Leon Wright and his wife took home a 14.75kg lump of ambergris, found in the innards of sperm whales and used in perfumes after it has been vomited up.
Long lusted-after due to its rarity, ambergris can float upon the oceans for years before washing ashore on beaches.
Worth up to $20 a gram, Mr Wright's find on a South Australian beach could net his family US$295,000 (£165,300).


A Whale story with a happy ending, unlike, poor old Wally, (Wallyena, as the Whale was a female) who fell off her perch half way up the Thames.
