i'm always looking for the road less traveled, for the people, places, and animals that capture the imagination and find their way into my heart. so, join me, as together we travel the open road. dr. chris: around here, sinkholes are everywhere. they even move roads for them, but i've been told that i'm going to be the one moved, emotionally, by a couple of sinkholes that apparently provide one of the most incredible underwater experiences anywhere in the country. mount gambier is almost smack-bang in between melbourne and adelaide, just on the south australian side of the border. this town is famous for its volcanic crater lakes, its caves, and multiple sinkholes, and when i heard you can actually swim in a series of three limestone sinkholes just south of here, i just knew i had to take a trip to ewens ponds. and this is where the magic happens. i was expecting a little more than what looks like a farm dam. looks like i'll need a local, like ross, to explain what makes these ponds so special. ross, have i just traveled all this way to swim in a farm dam? ross: definitely not. this is what we call a cast spring, and this is where the groundwater comes to the surface, and it has done over thousands of years, and it's really clear. dr. chris: but we need to talk about the temperature. exactly how cold is it in there? ross: fourteen degrees. dr. chris: it's 14 degrees. ross: oh, a wetsuit, i guess. dr. chris: yeah, definitely wetsuit. there's no doubt about that. i'm just going to go and change. ross: right-oh. dr. chris: yep, so, it's all right now. then it starts to drain in, and then the water starts to fill it up, and oh, yeah. we're acclimatizing. but i'm in now, so let's see what all the fuss is about. putting your head underwater for the first time is amazing and completely unexpected. the water is so clear, it looks like air, so it actually feels like you're floating above a meadow. this could be the closest i've come to actually flying. but swoop down a little deeper, and you come across creatures you wouldn't normally find in a paddock. this guy is a glenelg spiny crayfish, and they're actually endangered. down here, the water is so crystal clear, the sunlight can penetrate all the nooks and crannies. so, the plants that grow here are some that you would never normally find underwater, and if you look closely, it even seems like they're breathing. well, that is absolutely incredible, but now, time to take it to a deeper level. it's about nine meters to the bottom of these basin-shaped sinkholes, so if i'm going to see it all, i'll have to strap on some scuba gear, and experienced cave diver tim has offered to guide me around. so, i'm guessing these ponds are essentially like diving into a big cave, but just with an open roof. tim: it is like that, but because it doesn't have that roof, there is so much more life in here. dr. chris: so, it's back into those chilly waters we go, but this time, we can take the sightseeing through what they call the races. they're the small channels that link these three ponds together. the second pond is a lot smaller than the first, but then an absolutely vision. the third pond really does feel like something from another world and is an opportunity to catch a glimpse into the life of a cave-diver without any associated claustrophobia. what a privilege to be part of this crystal-clear oasis. oh, wow. you know, i never thought stepping into a pond would be a portal into this amazing underwater world. it's like an alien landscape under there and just has to be seen to be believed. tim, thanks so much, buddy. tim: it was a pleasure. dr. chris: when do i get back down there? tim: let's go. announcer: coming up, dr. chris takes a journey back through time. dr. chris: it's really only now when you're actually on this small boat that you get a feel for the power and the history of this area. for mild-to-moderate eczema?

george: they disappeared mysteriously. dr. chris: that hasn't decomposed. that coffin still looks almost brand-new, and it's 2000-3000 years old. george: the coffin is made by wood. we call it petrified. dr. chris: the amazing thing to me, though, is you look at that, and even with modern climbing techniques and ropes and abseiling and all the rest of it, you couldn't get that in there. george: it's hard work. dr. chris: and as we travel further away from the mainstream, our boats get more traditional to match. here, it's easy to imagine what much of the yangtze may have looked like many years ago, and the locals, they love to set the scene. george: that's a music man. he plays the music for you right here. dr. chris: i'm under no illusions about the scenery. it is truly spectacular. it's really only now when you're actually on this small boat that you get a feel for the power and the history of this area, because those rocky towers are so high, and they really lean right over the top of you. it's peaceful, yet it is also quite powerful. announcer: coming up, dr. chris hits the slopes. [jacqui laughing] jacqui: you are hopeless! smile dad. i take medication for high blood pressure and cholesterol. but they might not be enough to protect my heart. adding bayer aspirin can further reduce the risk of another heart attack. because my second chance matters. be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. cancer that has spread to other parts of her body.h is breast she's also taking prescription ibrance with an aromatase inhibitor, which is for postmenopausal women with hormone receptor positive her2- metastatic breast cancer as the first hormonal based therapy. ibrance plus letrozole was significantly more effective at delaying disease progression versus letrozole. patients taking ibrance can develop low white blood cell counts which may cause serious infections that can lead to death. before taking ibrance, tell your doctor if you have fever, chills, or other signs of infection, liver or kidney problems, are pregnant, breastfeeding, or plan to become pregnant. common side effects include low red blood cell and low platelet counts, infections, tiredness, nausea, sore mouth, abnormalities in liver blood tests, diarrhea, hair thinning or loss, vomiting, rash, and loss of appetite. julie calls it her "new" normal. because a lot has changed, but a lot hasn't. ibrance, the #1 prescribed fda-approved oral combination treatment for hr+/her2- mbc. ♪ living well when life gets busy, you want your immune system to be on top of its game. to support it, you can eat healthier, get some exercise and drink fluids. and choose the immune supplement with more. airborne® it has 2 times more vitamin c, than emergen-c gummies. plus it's specially crafted with vitamins, minerals and herbs. for immune support with 2 times the vitamin c. choose airborne® gummies, now also with probiotics. ...and your family running. are so overwhelming, introducing febreze one for fabric and air. no aerosols. no dyes. no heavy perfumes. it cleans away odors for a pure light freshness... so you can spray and stay. febreze one, breathe happy. dr. chris: i've journeyed to an olympic training camp somewhere deep in the austrian alps in a bid to realize my winter olympic dream, and i've heard on the grapevine that many olympians have spent time at pension grimus, a traditional austrian guest house. definitely in the right place. if they can make olympians out of dogs, this is going to be easy. giving visitors a healthy dose of european hospitality is innkeeper hans, owner of that skiing dog. [dr. chris speaking german] dr. chris: guten morgen. hans: guten morgen. dr. chris: now, if a dog can be taught to ski, how do i become an olympic athlete on the mountain? do you have a coach around here that i could potentially use? hans: you need the right coach. there is a very famous one, very good one that's sitting right behind you, jacqui cooper. dr. chris: looks like the snow gods think this is a good idea. jacqui, how are you? jacqui: i'm great. dr. chris: what are you doing here so far from home? jacqui: home? this is my home. i'm at mount buller, australia. dr. chris: ah, that would explain why the flight was so short. i'm in australia, not austria, in the victorian ski fields at mount buller. i did think it was strange there was gum trees outside. jacqui: everywhere. dr. chris: yeah, that actually makes sense. well, this will be a lot easier. apart from being a winter playground for skiers and snowboarders with 22 lifts, mount buller is also a popular training ground for olympians, like my friend, five-time world champion jacqui cooper. i have a dream. you've been to five winter olympics. i'd love to go to just one. jacqui: the first step will be to get you on a snowboard. [sinister laugh] dr. chris: jacqui, i have nightmares about t-bars. for a snowboarder, there is nothing more scary than a t-bar. jacqui: if you can't ride a t-bar, you have no business being on a snowboard. that's fair, right? dr. chris: i reckon i fall off about 90 percent of t-bars. jacqui: i'm not riding with you. dr. chris: t-bars were designed for skiers, so for them, it's a walk in the park, but for snowboarders, it can be carnage. my olympic dream is looking about as shaky as my takeoff. [dr. chris yelling] dr. chris: you never think those things, but... [jacqui laughing] dr. chris: oh. jacqui: get off the side. dr. chris: eventually, it's time to impress jacqui with my shredding prowess. jacqui: chris, you are hopeless! announcer: coming up, the verdict is in on dr. chris' olympic future. dr. chris: have you seen enough to know what my olympic event is going to be? jacqui: chris, i have seen more than enough. announcer: but first, it's time for you to hit the open road with road trip trivia. when did the first winter olympics take place, 1911, 1924, 1933, 1941? the answer when "the open road with dr. chris" returns. i was wondering if an electric toothbrusthan a manual.s better and my hygienist says it does but they're not all the same. who knew? i had no idea. so she said, look for one that's shaped like a dental tool with a round brush head. go pro with oral-b. oral-b's rounded brush head surrounds each tooth to gently remove more plaque. and unlike sonicare, oral-b is the only electric toothbrush brand accepted by the american dental association for its effectiveness and safety. my mouth feels so clean. i'll only use an oral-b. oral-b. brush like a pro. jimmy's gotten used to his whole yup, he's gone noseblind. odors. he thinks it smells fine, but his mom smells this... luckily there's febreze fabric refresher for all the things you can't wash. it finds odors trapped in fabrics and washes them away as it dries. and try pluggable febreze to continuously eliminate odors for up to 45 days of freshness. pluggable febreze and fabric refresher. two more ways to breathe happy. alright, i brought in high protein to help get us moving. ...and help you feel more strength and energy in just two weeks! i'll take that. -yeeeeeah! ensure high protein. with 16 grams of protein and 4 grams of sugar. ensure. always be you. announcer: welcome back to "the open road with dr. chris". when we left off, we asked, when did the first winter olympics take place? the answer is b, 1924. the first winter olympics was held in france, and medals were awarded in five sports, including bobsled, curling, ice hockey, skating, and skiing. dr. chris: i've journeyed to an olympic training camp in a bid to realize my winter olympic dream. jacqui: chris, you are hopeless! dr. chris: we've ruled out snowboarding, so it looks like i'll be packing my skis for south korea, but jacqui just wants to see me in action before she puts the call in to the olympic committee. all right, jacqui, i'm feeling the pressure. it kind of feels like my last chance. jacqui: it is your last chance. dr. chris: the fact that we've already crossed skis i know is really a perfect start. you weren't actually a skier originally, were you? jacqui: i was recruited from a trampoline. i was a kid that was fascinated with acrobatics. someone told me that i should become an aerial skier and come up here to mount buller and learn how to ski with the vision of one day being a world champion. dr. chris: so, it all starts with acrobatics, because i've already done that down at the -- at the t-bar. i just did that. [jacqui laughing] dr. chris: all the different places you went around the world, did you have a favorite place to compete? jacqui: my favorite was for sure here at mount buller, at home. it had the most pressure, because everyone on the mountain wanted me to win. you know, the feeling, you just can't get it anywhere else. you might maybe. i'm hoping. dr. chris: about that, it is probably time for me to show you what i've got on the skis. jacqui: stop the talking. let's just do it. dr. chris: should we just do it? jacqui: let's just do it. dr. chris: okay, stand by. jacqui: enough already, okay. dr. chris: this is what you call olympic qualification. in my head, i ski like this, and this, but in reality... dr. chris: oh! no, i'm good. i'm good. well, have you seen enough to know what my olympic event is going to be. jacqui: chris, i've seen more than enough. i want you to go home and sleep on it, and tomorrow, i'm going to reveal how you are going to make the olympic team. dr. chris: see you in the morning. dr. chris: i barely slept, jacqui. come on, tell me, what is it? jacqui: okay, well, chris... dr. chris: yeah. jacqui: ...it all starts now. let's head through the door. we're going to start training, and we'll get to it. dr. chris: yes! jacqui: ready? dr. chris: so excited. jacqui: skinny cap. it goes up, in, and twist. dr. chris: feel quite at home, actually. skinny cap for jacqui. jacqui: mm. dr. chris: mm. bronze medal? jacqui: no. dr. chris: oh, it's silver. it's gold, isn't it? jacqui: it will be a gold. dr. chris: yes, it will. jacqui: it will be a gold. dr. chris: look out, south korea. announcer: coming up, dr. chris learns the secrets of the slopes... dr. chris: so, that is actually a snow factory. paul: that is it. announcer: ...when "the open road with dr. chris" returns. 60% of women are wearing the wrong size pad and can experience leaks discover always my fit. find the number that's right for your flow and panty size on the top of any always pack. the better the fit, the better it protects. always. dr. chris: there's no better place for winter fun than the slopes. i'm in the village of mount buller in the victorian ski fields, and it seems appropriate that my quest to meet the secret snow folk starts with an encounter of the furry kind. i meet the mountain's resident husky whisperer, brett, just as he's putting his puppies to bed for the night. [dog barking] dr. chris: is it almost bedtime for these guys? brett: yeah, it's bedtime, and we're going to put them away, and they're going to have a nice sleep on their nice straw bed or hay. dr. chris: and so, these guys will grow up to be -- to be sled dogs? brett: next winter, they'll be running. dr. chris: one of the most amazing adaptations that these dogs have is a little quirk of their circulation. what they do is actually send warm blood constantly from their heart through their arteries to their pads, and what that does is actually makes sure their pads never get frozen, and essentially, never get cold, and therefore, never get frostbite. if i lift up thor here, and those feet have been in the ice, and i do this, his feet are warm. that's actually not cold on my face. should we take these guys to bed? brett: we should -- we should do that now. dr. chris: i, on the other hand, need some protection for my pads. are you ready for bed? oh, yes, yes. come on, bed, bed, bed. even though you cope with the cold, you'll still take a warm bed, won't you? bedtime has never looked cuter. bedtime soon, guys. you get to stay up a bit later. while a good night's sleep looks pretty tempting, i'm on a mission. i've got my sights set on mingling with the nocturnal mountain folk, and they don't come more mountainly or nocturnal than snowmaker paul. paul: hey! dr. chris: what are you doing here? paul: this is the home of the new snowmaking factory. dr. chris: that is actually a snow factory. paul: that's the snow factory. that is it. so, this is pumped out on all our runs all over the hill. dr. chris: this is where it all ends up. paul: this is where it's coming out, and we're moving it around the hill with our kassbohrer. dr. chris: once it's all spread out like it is now, what's the next step? paul: the next step is, hopefully, it freezes up overnight, and hopefully, we don't get anybody skiing on it. dr. chris: honestly, that would be so rude. but oh, so tempting. just look at that fresh powder but these people, they're my friends now, and it looks like paul has got something in common with that husky pup i met earlier. i'm here struggling, and look at this. paul: you might be better off in the cab. dr. chris: you don't mind? paul: you go and warm up. go on. dr. chris: it's all right? now, i may be more familiar with dog grooming, but my new mate, mikey, is an expert at manicuring the white stuff. mikey: after a slope has been skied all day... dr. chris: yeah. mikey: ...it creates these bumps from the skiers and snowboarders. basically, what i'm trying to do is make it all nice and flat again with my blade on the front, and then my tiller on the back puts a nice finish on it and makes perfect corduroy for skiing on the next day. dr. chris: what's the -- what's the corduroy? mikey: corduroy is the lines that we leave in the snow after we're finished with it. dr. chris: corduroy, i do love the feel of soft, manicured corduroy. mikey: watch out for the fresh slope on your way down. dr. chris: don't worry about that. i'm just going to stick to the path. dr. chris: later, guys! [alarm siren blaring] mikey: i just groomed that. killing one person... and displacing several others. plus - a family worried t d... flames rip through this santa clara home killing one and

it under control. >> fire got in the attic and spread laterally. >> there is no word on what caused the fire. a richmond police officer was badly hurt while responding to a side show. it happened just after 1:00 on marina bay parkway. about 40 to 50 cars were in the area and an officer tried to stop a vehicle when the driver slammed into him. the officer is an eight year veteran and suffered serious injuries. he was tape to the hospital for -- taken to the hospital for treatment. president trump offering to provide a path to citizenship for dreamers but his proposal comes with conditions. it would cover millions of undocumented immigrants but the president wants $25 billion for a border wall and wants to limit family based immigration. one dreamer opposes the limitations. >> reporter: a dreamer, came to the u.s. when he was 3 years old. this week president trump tweeted support for those like manny who came as young children. he tweeted a wonderful deal including doubling in the number of recipients and 12 way pathway to citizenship for two reasons. one, because republicans want to fix a long time terrible problem. manny works for immigrant legal resource center and says it's not that democrats don't want to solve daca but he is worried it will put his family in jeopardy. >> it's forcing people to put the undocumented youth against their parents. >> in return for a dream act president trump wants money for border wall, end to the visa lottery program and stop family based immigration. that means putting a limit on the number of family members brought to you u.s. to just spouses and minor children providing no legal protection for parents. >> it comes it is cost of having ice and immigration enforcement in general go after parents. they are still vulnerable. >> reporter: as lawmakers try to draft a bill, it is feared lumping all issues under one umbrella may be the downfall to getting a deal done. manny hopes each issue is negotiated separately. >> you can have a clean dream act. mitch mcconnell has to get behind it, democrats, conservatives, republicans have to be on board. a southern california father detained by ice is fighting to stay in the u.s.

was targeted because a got a dui more than a decade ago and marijuana possession charge as a teen, a criminal history historian calls minimal. >> demonstrating behavior over a period of many years, coaching kids, having other parents trust him has made everyone known to him that he can earn their respect. >> according to his lawyer, ice agents did not have a warrant when they took him in. president trump's plan for a $25 billion border wall is facing another obstacle. if it is built it would run through stretch of arizona desert that belongs to one of america's largest indian tribes. it would divide thousands of members living in arizona and mexico. >> we just want to follow our traditional ways. we have a unique culture, and we still practice those. >> the indian nation is

without controversy. i asked san francisco's former interim mayor london breed, who was also board president, about the move that pushed her out of the top job. >> i am not going to speculate on what happened behind the scenes with the vote. at the end of the day, i am still board president. i am still going to do the job. we have pressing issues that we need to take care of, homelessness, housing. people are counting on us to lead the city and do the right things, take care of folks. >> let's roll back a little bit. we have policy here and politics. when you were in the board chambers and this was being debated, one of the things brought out was the idea that you were somehow in the clutches of tech billionaires and millionaires. what was your feeling? >> i was offended. as someone who grew up in the environment i grew up and went through obstacles and challenges and faced adverse tielmann in some of the most worst ways possible, to be accused of what i was accused of, because someone is supporting me, to imply that someone owns me because of contributions i received, it was offensive. >> okay. at the same time we had a policy situation here where there was concern that said you had too much power as acting mayor, board president, supervisor. it was too concentrated. your reaction? >> i was doing the job. i was taking care of the city. as i said, whatever decision my colleagues wanted to make, i would support the decision. i may not agree with the decision but i support it, and my goal is to focus on doing the work, running for mayor, making sure that we are going to have a mayor that isn't going to divide people but bring people together so we can solve our city's most pressing issues. >> the vote to remove her and put in supervisor farrell who is not running was made to quote unquote level the playing field. it was done by lefties on the board. >> that's right. >> you were in the room. what was the feeling? >> stunned. actually a number of breed's supporters were so upset they had to shut the meeting down. if you were watching, it went black because they had to stop and clear out. people were very upset and really surprised. this was one of the many theories we heard about things that could have happened but when it happened, a lot of us, even those in the press box that heard rumors. >> never be surprised when it comes to power and politics
