new flights are taking off at sfo, making vacations down under easier than ever. travel enthusiast dana rebmann joins us now.. we're so lucky in the bay area. countless flights give us options to destinations all around the world. and we just gained another nonstop flight to get excited about - qantas now flies straight to melbourne, australia, four times a week. and there's a multitude of reasons to think about hopping onboard. so let's go for a tour. melbourne has a colorful love of street art. you can't walk in the city's central business district without seeing street art. spots like hosier lane, degraves street, and ac/dc lane are the best- known stretches, but it's everywhere. the art is constantly being painted over and changed, so there's always something new to see. if you're a hard core fan, localing tours has an option

where you can visit a working artist's studio. (4hrs, 2 people, $480) it's a long flight.. (15 hrs, 35 mins) you might have some jetlag, so pick a day to sleep in, skip breakfast, and then just eat your way through queen victoria market. this isn't a tourist driven attraction. it officially opened in 1878, but it was unofficially operating before then. as a visitor, you're not shopping from the butcher or the seafood markets, but when you're accustomed to a supermarket, it's fun to get a glimpse of the bustle. the prepared foods, on the other hand, are fair game. offerings come from around the globe, everything from pasta, to kangaroo, fine cheeses, and chocolates. there's also stall after stall of fresh produce. it's a huge space, and if the thought of exploring seems a little overwhelming you can take a

guided queen vic market foodie tour. about two hours long, you'll meet sellers, get buying tips, and of course eat! ($50p/p) ((2 shot )) with good food, typically comes good wine. the yarra valley is melbourne's equivalent to our napa and sonoma. (it's less than an hour drive.) one of the best ways to get the lay of the land is from above, in a hot air balloon. the landscape isn't just vines, agriculture of all sorts are strong here. it's an early morning, up at 4:30am and on move by 5am, but you just magically seem to forget all about it. i stayed at a property called chateau yering hotel and they stay in constant contact with pilots, so staff only wakes you up if the weather is clear and everything's a go. ($295 p/p flight, hotel starting at $284) phillip island is a must for animal lovers. about 90

minutes from melbourne, phillip island nature parks are not-for-profit; the boat rides to seal rocks is just one example of the types of tours they offer. this is home to australia's largest fur seal colony, about 30,000 of them. the day i visited, 5 to 8-thousand were hanging out. in addition to the close-up wildlife views, the coastline is pretty spectacular. when the boat is moving, everyone has to be seated, with seat belts, because every now and then the captain likes to have some fun, zig zagging around, before heading back to solid ground. ($40p/p) for animal packed day, visit the seals in

the afternoon, then spend your evening with penguins. the summerland peninsula, in the southwest area of phillip island, is home to a colony of little penguins - about 32,000 of them. the little penguins spend a great deal of time at sea, but every night at sunset some make the trip back to land, scurrying up the beach under the moonlight. during the winter, there's an average of 700 penguins a night. during the summer there can be up to 4-thousand. where they were born, is where they come out of the water. people watching are asked to quiet, and there's no photography. penguins don't seem to mind people, but they don't like bright lights. this stretch of land used to be a housing development, but people and penguins don't necessarily make good neighbors, so in 1985 the victorian government initiated a land buy back within the colony, and by 2010 had bought back all 175 homes. the process repeats itself in the morning, 60 to 90 minutes before sunrise, before all the predatory birds get out of bed, they head out to sea.

new flights are taking off at sfo, making vacations down

under easier than ever. travel enthusiast dana rebmann joins us now.. we're so lucky in the bay area. countless straight to australia, four times a week. and there's a multitude of reasons to think about hopping onboard. so let's go for a tour. melbourne has a colorful love of street art. you can't walk in the city's central business district without seeing street art. spots like hosier lane, degraves street, and ac/dc lane are the best- known stretches, but it's everywhere. the art is constantly being painted over and changed, so there's always something new to see. if you're a hard core fan, localing tours has an option where you can visit a working artist's studio. (4hrs, 2

people, $480) it's a long flight.. (15 hrs, 35 mins) you might have some jetlag, so pick a day to sleep in, skip breakfast, and then just eat your way through queen victoria market. this isn't a tourist driven attraction. it officially opened in 1878, but it was unofficially operating before then. as a visitor, you're not shopping from the butcher or the seafood markets, but when you're accustomed to a supermarket, it's fun to get a glimpse of the bustle. the prepared foods, on the other hand, are fair game. offerings come from around the globe, everything from pasta, to kangaroo, fine cheeses, and chocolates. there's also stall after stall of fresh produce. it's a huge space, and if the thought of exploring seems a little overwhelming you can take a guided queen vic market foodie tour. about two hours long, you'll meet sellers, get buying tips, and of course eat! ($50p/p) ((2 shot )) with good food, typically comes good wine. the yarra valley is melbourne's equivalent to our napa and sonoma. (it's less than an hour drive.) one of

the best ways to get the lay of the land is from above, in a hot air balloon. the landscape isn't just vines, agriculture of all sorts are strong here. it's an early morning, up at 4:30am and on move by 5am, but you just magically seem to forget all about it. i stayed at a property called chateau yering hotel and they stay in constant contact with pilots, so staff only wakes you up if the weather is clear and everything's a go. ($295 p/p flight, hotel starting at $284) phillip island is a must for animal lovers. about 90 minutes from melbourne, phillip island nature parks are not-for-profit; the boat rides to seal rocks is just one example of the types of tours they offer. this is home to australia's largest fur seal colony, about 30,000 of them. the day i visited, 5 to 8-thousand were hanging out. in addition to the close-up wildlife views, the coastline is pretty spectacular. when the boat is moving, everyone has to be seated, with seat belts, because every now and then the captain likes to have some fun, zig zagging around, before heading back to solid ground. ($40p/p) for animal packed day, visit the seals in the afternoon, then spend your

evening with penguins. the summerland peninsula, in the southwest area of phillip island, is home to a colony of little penguins - about 32,000 of them. the little penguins spend a great deal of time at sea, but every night at sunset some make the trip back to land, scurrying up the beach under the moonlight. during the winter, there's an average of 700 penguins a night. during the summer there can be up to 4-thousand. where they were born, is where they come out of the water. people watching are asked to quiet, and there's no photography. penguins don't seem to mind people, but they don't like bright lights. this stretch of land used to be a housing development, but people and penguins don't necessarily make good neighbors, so in 1985 the victorian government initiated a land buy back within the colony, and by 2010 had bought back all 175 homes. the process repeats itself in the morning, 60 to 90 minutes before sunrise, before all the predatory birds get out of bed, they head out to sea. (though folks can't view them in the morning.) (starts at $20) (ácommercialá)

@ellasogomonian//"scientists are identifying what they say is a clear link between the earth's warmer temperatures and dryer conditions for the reason we are facing enormous wildfires that are harder to fight." the deadly camp fire has scorched 148 thousand acres of northern california land killed more than 70 people while more than one thousand remain missing. enviornmental researchers found global warming is contributing to the staggering size and frequency of the deadly wildfires burning in the golden state and across the globe in recent years . sot: zeke hausfather, climate scientist berkeley earth// "this year has been one of the driest and hottest years in california so its just created a tinderbox for fires to start that are then driven rapidly due to the winds." climate scientist zeke hausfather with berkeley earth says the world is seeing near record heatwaves and recent wildfires are burning twice the size of regions compared to the 1980's and 90's in both forested and non forested areas.while president donald trump believes mismanagement by the forstery service may be

to blame...hausfather has observed more fire fighters and resources are being devoted to the issue than any other time.so he doesn't believe changes in fire fighting approach are the problem.sot: zeke hausfather, climate scientist berkeley earth// "forest management certainly plays a role but our president is somewhat misguided in blaming it solely for the fires its a combination of the need to do more controlled burns more brush clearing and the whole situation being exacerbated by hot and dry conditions due to the warming we've seen in recent years in california." scientists are comparing the number of acres burned along with temperatures and conditions recorded at the time recent wildfires have erupted.sot: ella sogomonian, @ellasogomonian//"so the hotter and drier it's become climate change scientists say its creating more fuel for a catasrophic fire. in berkeley ella sogomonian kron 4 news."

new flights are taking off at sfo, making vacations down under easier than ever. travel enthusiast dana rebmann joins us now.. we're so lucky in the bay area. countless flights give us options to destinations all around the world. and we just gained another nonstop flight to get excited about - qantas now flies straight to melbourne, australia, four times a week. and there's a multitude of reasons to think about hopping onboard. so let's go for a tour. melbourne has a colorful love of street art. you can't walk in the city's central business district without seeing street art. spots like hosier lane, degraves street, and ac/dc lane are the best- known stretches, but it's everywhere. the art is constantly being painted over and changed, so there's always something new to see. if

you're a hard core fan, localing tours has an option where you can visit a working artist's studio. (4hrs, 2 people, $480) it's a long flight.. (15 hrs, 35 mins) you might have some jetlag, so pick a day to sleep in, skip breakfast, and then just eat your way through queen victoria market. this isn't a tourist driven attraction. it officially opened in 1878, but it was unofficially operating before then. as a visitor, you're not shopping from the butcher or the seafood markets, but when you're accustomed to a supermarket, it's fun to get a glimpse of the bustle. the prepared foods, on the other hand, are fair game. offerings come from around the globe, everything from pasta, to kangaroo, fine cheeses, and chocolates. there's also stall after stall of fresh produce. it's a

huge space, and if the thought of exploring seems a little overwhelming you can take a guided queen vic market foodie tour. about two hours long, you'll meet sellers, get buying tips, and of course eat! ($50p/p) ((2 shot )) with good food, typically comes good wine. the yarra valley is melbourne's equivalent to our napa and sonoma. (it's less than an hour drive.) one of the best ways to get the lay of the land is from above, in a hot air balloon. the landscape isn't just vines, agriculture of all sorts are strong here. it's an early morning, up at 4:30am and on move by 5am, but you just magically seem to forget all about it. i stayed

at a property called chateau yering hotel and they stay in constant contact with pilots, so staff only wakes you up if the weather is clear and everything's a go. ($295 p/p flight, hotel starting at $284) phillip island is a must for animal lovers. about 90 minutes from melbourne, phillip island nature parks are not-for-profit; the boat rides to seal rocks is just one example of the types of tours they offer. this is home to australia's largest fur seal colony, about 30,000 of them. the day i visited, 5 to 8-thousand were hanging out. in addition to the close-up wildlife views, the coastline is pretty spectacular. when the boat is moving, everyone has to be seated, with seat belts, because every now and then the captain likes to have some fun, zig zagging around, before heading back to solid ground. ($40p/p) for animal packed day, visit the seals in

the afternoon, then spend your evening with penguins. the summerland peninsula, in the southwest area of phillip island, is home to a colony of little penguins - about 32,000 of them. the little penguins spend a great deal of time at sea, but every night at sunset some make the trip back to land, scurrying up the beach under the moonlight. during the winter, there's an average of 700 penguins a night. during the summer there can be up to 4-thousand. where they were born, is where they come out of the water. people watching are asked to quiet, and there's no photography. penguins don't seem to mind people, but they don't like bright lights. this stretch of land used to be a housing development, but people and penguins don't necessarily make good neighbors, so in 1985 the victorian government initiated a land buy back

within the colony, and by 2010 had bought back all 175 homes. the process repeats itself in the morning, 60 to 90 minutes before sunrise, before all the predatory birds get out of bed, they head out to sea.
