Humpback whale sightings in Kakadu river stun Northern Territory experts | ABC News

Marine ecologist Jason Fowler was out fishing with friends on his boat in Kakadu's East Alligator River when he got a whale-sized surprise.
Mr Fowler was on his yacht, the Shaguar, with a group of biologist friends when they first saw the whale, on September 2.
"I noticed a big spout a big blow on the horizon and I thought that's a big dolphin", he said.
He said the boatload of biologists could not believe their eyes when they first saw three humpback whales so far from home.
"We were madly arguing with each other about what we were actually seeing. After four hours of raging debate we agreed we were looking at humpback whales in a river", he said.
That is when Mr Fowler started filming.
