They call it a beachcomber’s dream, but the chances of finding it, are slim to none. This is why a recent find at Streaky Bay of the rare substance ambergris, which is essentially sperm whale vomit, is a coup for a South Australian fishing family.
Why would anyone want whale vomit? Turns out it’s something that is added to perfume to slow down the evaporation.
And of course, who wouldn’t want their picture taken with it!
