Beautiful, just beautiful.

Very Much Enjoyed Your "Mental" Journey! Many walk the trail, but few "Feel" It! A BIG YES to solo hiking! And a BIGGER Yes to hutting by yourself! I get it! I see you! Loved your little "Half way" Montage! Laughed till I cried! But I do think that a "Dorky" emu can do a better hand stand than you :). Love your work Rubes...Harry Hiker!

Inspiring. I really want to get back out on a walk - you're an inspiring presence on these videos and on screen, Ms Cornish.

great video. thanks for sharing your journey.

I loved this video so much! So inspiring for this 54 year old. I really want to do this. Or some of it.

Excellent video. I really enjoyed going on the journey.

Hi Ruby. I would never have known of you had I not watched ABC News. From there, I found you on KZread, for one. This trail you walked, I can relate very closely, although my experience was vastly different to yours. I was a Telstra technical specialist tasked with deploying a brand new 1+1 optical fibre system from Albany via Denmark, to Walpole. Spent months down there, mornings and evenings at Conspicuous Cliffs, and the beach, and amongst the amazing Tingle trees. Did the tree top walk. Pretty much halfway between Denmark and Walpole there was a place you could try/buy honey mead. Maybe not there anymore but I tried, and then did buy, a couple of bottles. I met a girl, she was staying at the same place as me. We ended up going on "dates" to Conspicuous Cliffs, in my Telstra car. However, she was from Hobart, and me from Perth at the time, so that didn't last. As you have said in your story, amazing scenes, most of which I would not have ever seen had I not been paid to go there. And then your story brings back to mind all the familiar places.... Thank you so much Ruby. x

Really great video. Being an Aussie I've often wondered what the track was like. Though my long distance walking tends to have been in Spain for the last 10 years. Maybe I'll have to try something closer to home!

How awesum r u young lady😀thank u 4 takn me along on ur journey, it was fabulous😍❤️🙏🏼

Absolutely epic walk and enjoyed every step with you . The scenery and your musings along the way were just gorgeous . Hope to see you do many more walks in the future and thanks for putting this one out there so we could all share your adventure .

Loved your whole journey ❤️ Thanks for sharing it with us, Ruby.

Nice work Ruby, incredibly watchable.

That was so good Ruby. I shed a tear at the end. 🙏

Hi Ruby, thanks for sharing. I felt your emotions at the close of your journey and I've experienced the same. Don't forget, there is always the next adventure 👍👍

Great effort and an amazing adventure, you are a natural story teller. Nothing wrong with enjoying your own company, far less complicated. There is something magical about getting away from ‘civilisation.’ Thanks for sharing your experience, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I look forward to the next one.

Congrats on the walk and thanks for sharing such an amazing journey. Despite being a local and having had a few dozen Dugite and tiger encounters around my home I still haven’t shaken my snake phobia enough to try the southern section by myself. Instead I have been doing sections from Donnelly River back to Dwellingup along with around Mt Cooke, during the cooler months. So many beautiful spots and so true about forming memories and chapters around locations. Even my extremely short time on the track has so many vivid memories embedded that regularly bring me a smile when no one else around me knows what I’m thinking about and must think I’m super strange. Here’s hoping to make many, more. Ps. Also, a huge thanks for given me a huge energy boost after my first exhausting Covid infection. Never felt so flat before and haven’t been able to shake it. So cheers to the power of your infectious enthusiasm.

This is a wonderful journey. It's escapism to just watch it. I love it. Well done, Ruby.

Lovely to share these brief glimpses of your amazing walk, and to see how it gives you what you need and what you love.

Inspirational, well done Ruby 😊

Thanks so much for sharing this incredible journey with us, Ruby. I laughed - and maybe cried - along with you. Once again a huge inspiration to us all to chase our own dreams. 🤗

You are truly at peace on the trail. Lovely video.

What an awesome, inspiring video. Reminds me of why I emigrated to Oz. I still remember the terror and exhilaration of being at the top of the Gloucester Tree by myself.

Thanks so much for taking the time to record your narration while out on the trail, as well as the superb scenery. I’m going to ride the Munda Biddi Trail later this year, so I’ve watched a few people’s MBT videos. Which is why the KZread algorithm served up your video to me. I found it moving, inspiring, and simply beautiful in how you presented the forests and ecosystems of south-west WA. So good. Thanks again.

Thanks for the video, was a great watch. I've done sections of track when I was a teenager in scouts, and watched a few end-to-end recounts of the other hikers, but I found myself very engaged with your journey, perspective and emotions. You have a great style of presenting and communicating, and connect very well with your audience. Would love to see more videos with you!

Wow Ruby that has made my Friday start all the more inspiring; SW WA is simply stunning and unique and you showcased it brilliantly. Thanks for sharing, fabulous you..!

You make the best trail videos Ruby. You really captured the beautiful vibe of the Bibb and made me so nostalgic for my E2E. The Bibb was my gateway drug to the PCT. You are so ready for it as your next adventure.

Hi Ruby I have been a fan for over four years. This travel blog is the second of yours I’ve watched. You’re fascinating authentic and just lovely. David

What a beautiful video and gorgeous journey - I absolutely loved all your reflections and musings. Thanks for making this :)

Awesome video, thank you for taking us on your adventure ❤

Ruby, your journalist skills and your natural wonder are awesome to watch. You got me re-excited about the Great north walk with your last vid, and now you’ve put the west coast on my radar too. Love your work ❤

This video was masterful. I intended watching it in instalments due to the length, but once I started, I couldn't stop. Your warmth, your enthusiasm and your down to earth Aussie commentary, melded with the classic Aussie environments you were showcasing, made the whole thing compelling. My daughter recently did a 7 day hike in south-west Tassie. Watching this video was just like sitting with her over a glass of wine to hear the story and look at the images, both good, and when food was not delivered, not so good. If this video could not get enthusiastic audiences on mainstream media, I would be amazed. Thank you. I'm looking forward to the next one.

It was really fun seeing you doing your interviews on tv this morning then seeing this side of you this evening. The Bib is definitely on my bucket list and seeing you complete it solo is inspiring. Well done!

Remarkable journey, thank you for sharing Ruby. I loved how you shared your thoughts along the way, some great insights that landed with me, I will start tomorrow differently 🙏

That was totally amazing... I can see your joy in solo trekking.. ..But it is so much fun with friends.. 41 days tho😅

absolutely sublime. Thank you :)

Don't know how this came up on my home page, but I'm so glad it did!! That was so lovely, calming and inspirational to watch. Massive well done!

Wow! Incredible

Amazing trek and amazing video. Your courage and positivity are infectious and your reflections wonderful. Your description of chapters in life, major and micro, emerging and being preserved by places we encounter and that become our 'home' for hours or a day is something that we are blessed to experience when we trek overland. Thank you for sharing it 🙂

Awesome and inspiring - been looking forward to watching since you did this trip last year!

Too good, that was fantastic.

Have just stumbled upon your channel/ video. Awsomely inspiring. The family for years have tried to get me to go camping, but I have never seen the attraction. However seeing you enjoy the sceenary, bushland and being so content with your own company and solitude is something I may not dislike. Congratulations on your journey

Really liked the openness throughout the vid about the inner journey on the bibbulmun. On and off camera, you're character stood out over a demanding time, i really appreciate you're video. All the best, for the next adventure.

This was so super cool. I was laughing and in awe the whole time. Great job on both the journey and the vid 🙂. I hope you do lots more

Engaging from the very first moment to the very last moment. When I first saw the video I thought 'What' over 54 minutes OMGoodness! And it felt like it passed in a blink of an eye. Inspiring, amazing, beautiful, stunning and more. Also congratulations on completing The Bibbulmun Track 😊

Truly fabulous Ruby, thanks so much for sharing your journey.

this was amazing! so impressive you completed the entire distance. very inspirational, thanks for sharing

Thanks for sharing your journey!

Holy cow that was fantastic; what a spiritual & amazing experience. Never met you & never will but i was totally invested in that - so rapt for you that you did it & really got the mixed feelings: solitude win. All the best - on & off the trail Also: what marvellous music

Wow. This is amazing. I'm watching a little bit each day, I've not heard of this track and I now want to go there some day.

What an unexpected little gem. Bravo on capturing your own beautiful, insightful and personal little adventure in our magic part of the world (I’m at mutton bird beach). Hand duck in the tea reflection was the best bit though 😂 💪🏻🙌🏻✌🏻

Incredibly uplifting video Ruby!

Fantastic!!! Well done!

this looks amazing! you are inspiring me to leave Adelaide and giving it a go! Go Ruby, well done!!

Hi Ruby, well done completing the trail, its a long way. The video was absolutely amazing, I really enjoyed watching it. A few years ago, I climbed the Gloucester Tree, and it certainly tests your nerves! Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. Take care 😊

It’s a great walk, glad you enjoyed it! 👍😀

Nice video 👍

Well done! Amazing that such a beautiful trail has so few people bushwalking on it.

That's so cool, you made it look easy 👏👏👏

Every year on our Battalion Birthday they would make us March 120kms in full kit in under 24hrs 😂😂😂 you’d get a slice of cake upon completion 😂 so worth it 😂

Amazing Adventure to watch. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the entire blog. Well done.❤

Simply beautiful. Thanks for sharing your journey with us, Ruby! :)

Im on a month off, got back from vic east coast yesterday.Did some Albany last year truly incredible, you're more dedicated. Watching this is inspiring my nxt leg.Keep it coming

Well done Ruby. Thanks for the honesty of emotions.

Brilliant effort,solitude with nature is the reward for your walk,in this overpopulated over stimulated world those peaceful moments are treasures...well done...

Awesome effort... you're a wonderful inspiration. Thank you.

Great video ruby and well done, epic trek

loved it well done!

Wow, truly inspirational! You've definitely inspired me to plan a hike! 🚶‍♂️ 🙂

Fantastic. Thanks for sharing Ruby.

Great vid Ruby. Totally enjoyed this one cheers Trav.

awesome video - I felt like I was there experiencing it

So few views.one of the most enjoyable vlogs I have watched even tho a few others of this area walk.Ruby is engaging,good camera work and beautiful walk.goin to give up the corporate world in 2025 and do this walk or cycle.this will be my inspiration❤😊

yep very inspirational - bit like an epic poem - very enjoyable

Fine film making. Thank you.

Lovely video Ruby you are full of light, I was in the area at the same time as you but heading the opposite way by different means. Just stunning through the Karris and along that coast. I spent time at Peaceful Bay with my little furry travel companion. We didnt want to see any peeps either.

That's Impressive,Such a beautifull jounrney :)

Well done Ruby 👍 I miss the Bib too 😢

The Pingerup Plains were flooded when I did a SOBO. The beauty does not stop at the beaches, you are walking on one of the better trails, anywhere,...I am about to hop on the big bird and head for the Appalachian Trail, 3 weeks exactly, can't wait. You should check up on the history of the links between the BT & AT - Kezza

Loved it! Quite an adventure. Please keep up the limericks, How about one about the trek?

Absolutely amazing visit the Nature himalayan mountains

Amazing Ruby, inspiring stuff. Would love to know all the things that your mind did on this journey; surely there were enough draft limericks for a small book!

This is an impressive looking (and well shot) hike so it’s going on my bucket list. I can relate to this type of long distance hike having not long completed the AAWT. You should take a look at it if you haven’t already, it’s demanding but really worth the effort.

Good on you Ruby, that was fun to watch. The Larapinta would suit you down to the ground if you're looking for suggestions, magical country and hike.

Hi Ruby great video , Dwelingup has a great visitors centre with toiliets,showers and a laundry. There are also good camping sites such as Nanga Mill which you probably pass through .The caravan park you stayed in has always been noisy and not very hospitable.

Walked the bib in 2016 north too south , great achievement 😊

Well done. Makes me want to dust off my old hiking boots and get moving again.

Yes ... Old hiking boots tend to fall apart because the glue degrades so much while stationary.

Beautiful. Perhaps you could do the Heysen Trail in SA if you ever have the opportunity. Lots of Cornish heritage in the mid north.

I come from NZ and I hate hate hate snakes 🐍 only seen 1 so far in WA 😂

Thank you Ruby for sharing such a wonderful experience. To hear you talk about the joy of being alone really touched me as I have similar thoughts. Now how do you top this challenge? See you on the news. Keith

Listening to your good bye to the track and the emotions you we’re feeling made it sound like you have something horrendous to go home to, I hope this isn’t the case and I hope that you have a happy life

👍

The best montage of the Bibb I've seen. Did you walk it around April / May?

Ruby’s Solitude By Bing co-pilot AI, a supposed sonnet 🤔 In verdant woods where sun-kissed leaves entwine, Ruby, lone wanderer, seeks solace true. Her footsteps trace the ancient, mossy line, As whispers of the wild weave tales anew. The Bibbulmun’s embrace, a rugged dance, A thousand clicks of earth beneath her feet, She strides through eucalyptus-scented trance, Where solitude and self in quiet meet. Her laughter echoes through the gumwood glade, An oddly loud refrain, a joyful sound, For Bubble, her pot plant, lends her shade, And mindful musings bloom where roots are found. So here’s to Ruby, news and nature’s kin, A sonnet spun for her-both fierce and thin.

One of my mates has a house in Peaceful Bay 😂

Congratulations! You did amazing. Why did you decide to go from Albany to Perth?

😂 🦆 10.50 when the duck walked through the kitchen had me laughing out loud. Great video and memory for you to reflect back to in the future. Thanks for sharing your adventure. How long did it take you to edit all of your raw footage into the 55 minutes video ?

Thank you very much for taking me on a hike that is on my bucket list! You are a natural story teller. Looking forward to your next adventure. What camera did you use to record the video?

Great video. Did you have a final snake count for the journey, or did you stop counting?

Is it possible to get GPS location most of the way I mean when you're tired you get to bit disorientated don't you how many litres of water do you drink per day? 8 hours of walking in a day I would feel a bit dizzy I wouldn't know .... up or down?
