MELBOURNE, Australia —
Brielle Martinez, the student who won the 2025 Eco Hero contest, is sharing her once-in-a-lifetime Australia adventure in “Down Under,” a Local 10 News special airing at 8 p.m. on Monday.
Zoo Miami’s Ron Magill and Local 10 News Anchor Kristi Krueger were Brielle’s guides during the two-week trip that started in Melbourne, a coastal city with a growing focus on environmental sustainability.
The experiences included beautiful aerial views of the Ayers Rock, a massive sandstone monolith in the heart of Australia, and the underwater sights of the Great Barrier Reef, the world’s largest, off the coast of Queensland.
