Tourists and marine researchers have been delighted to see record numbers of whales in the Great Australian Bight this season.
The tourist officer at Ceduna in the far west of South Australia, Margie Stott, says there have now been 166 different whales spotted in the current season.
She says it is 23 more than the previous record back in 2005.
"You find them in at Fowler's Bay, you find them - my husband was out fishing in the bay here at Ceduna and found a cow and calf the other day so they're all along the coast here," she said.
