Welcome to the Bibbulmun Track, a stunning 1,000km trail in Western Australia! In this video I invite you to join me on my own Bibbulmun journey - a solo north to south end to end track hike.
This hike was filmed and undertaken between 30/8/23 - 3/10/23 whist on my Australian road trip through WA and would not have been possible without the incredible Bibbulmun Track Foundation, track angels and volunteers.
I hope you enjoy this video and are able to use it as a resource for planning your own hiking adventure or Bibbulmun thru hike.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching. Thanks and congratulations on a fantastic effort.

Loved watching this. I had a similar experience with a school group at Monadnocks. I actually emailed the school about the student conduct. Those poor Teachers were exhausted dealing with the behaviour.

Thanks. That was an awesome documentary on the Bib track. You capture the adventure so well

Wonderful to watch, thank you, what an amazing lady you are plus rather brave to walk the epic track alone !!! Well done ....

@LeahB451 Месяц назад

Congratulations, Laura. A stunning achievement in just 5 weeks. And a beautiful, inviting, video. Thank you.🎉

@simplylifeau Месяц назад

Thanks for sharing another track on the wish list. Did well to cover such a long trip in a compact vid, really helpful to get an insight to the conditions and you coped a lot more rain than we usually get! 👍

@catherinefraser8916 6 месяцев назад

This is so well made! It's not often I'll sit through a video that long but I really enjoyed it. You're so positive and upbeat- I'm sure you're a joy to hike with- yet I love that you're repping solo adventuring. So good!

@nejlahassett8799 Месяц назад

Well done Laura!! Fabulous achievement for you; especially in all that rain! Great footage too! Definitely given me some insights and inspiration for my E2E in Sept (just hope I don't get as much rain as you!!) LOL. x

26.20 at tom rd hut. I hate to tell you but their not old growth trees. Thats regen thats been planted and grown back after logging. Pretty good advert for how sustainable logging is 😊 thanks

Wow was fantastic, i would have loved to do something like that but never did, my wee hikes would make you laugh, love the wild flowers, animals etc, how proud you should feel. Well done.👍

@maxhill5197 17 дней назад

Wow, Laura, what an amazing walk! You really did smash out those kms!!! Enjoyed your very informative commentary, and footage is excellent. You must be super fit!! Such an inspiration. Would love to know more about what gear you used (esp boots!), how you packed up your kit, and any pros & cons you found with your gear. I was wondering what all that water did to your feet!

@cjd2615 2 месяца назад

I always wondered if anybody hiked the entire trail… and I never knew that huts were made available along the way. I’ve often toyed with the idea and seeing your video has encouraged me to consider taking up the challenge. Thank you!

@sallylyons430 2 месяца назад

Well done Laura 👏 great video and thanks for sharing your journey. I live in Perth and u took me back to that ridiculously rainy period. I can’t image trekking in wet boots. In my day way back when it wud have meant blisters

@megkav2921 6 месяцев назад

I am so inspired by this! I am doing my first overnight hike next week, on my own. It is actually 3 nights, because why not start big... i am looking forward to it even more after watching you. 1000km is a long way, congratulations ❤

@HammerTime_Fishing 2 месяца назад

Terrific record of your walk, enjoyed it! Would love to do the coastal section

@toddbrittain1060 12 дней назад

The "green tunnel" at 25:00 is Bossiaea aquifolium, aka 'waterbush'. Very common understorey species in the jarrah forest and very unpleasant to walk through after rain.

@michaelmccullagh2241 2 месяца назад

Thats some pretty decent daily distance you are covering. I'm planning to do the Cape to cape soon and did a few test sections. 20km is pretty decent for me but 30km. Good job! Hopfully i'll get the time to do the Bibb next year

@rhondasutton6014 2 месяца назад

@LtFrankDrebbin 5 месяцев назад

Such a gorgeous smile! Seeing such happiness in such bad weather conditions brings an infectious sense of good feeling. Double hutting the bulk of the track is an amazing feat also. I did the E-E in 2019 and hope to go again this year. Such a great experience.

@aaronforeman1696 2 месяца назад

Amazing journey.... well done indeed.

@tdb7992 6 месяцев назад

Well done! I have done different segments of it, but never the whole track. The section that goes through Donnelly river is just beautiful. I bought a few books on our native bird and plant species from the map shop in Fremantle (very recommended, it's a great little shop) so I can learn about the flora and fauna I see. I always think the people you bump into whilst hiking are generally the nicest people you will meet, they are always up for a chat. Welcome to Western Australia, I really hope you enjoyed your time here. The South West is a great area of the country to explore.

@LauraWaddellTravel 6 месяцев назад

Thank you. Awesome to hear you’ve done sections as well, Donnelly River really is beautiful but I did wish I knew more about the local fauna and flora so thanks for the tip! ☺️🌱

@MyLittleFarmhouse 6 месяцев назад

You are my new superhero! I wish I was young and fit again to attempt hikes like you do😍 although I’d faint at the first snake sighting. I seriously don’t know how you handle being so close to snakes.. they completely freak me out !! 😳 Well done on such an awesome challenging hike ⚡️⛈ 🌬🐍 🏕👍🏽

@Ian_macl 5 месяцев назад

Congratulations on completing the trail. I love your positive attitude and your enthusiasm. Thanks for sharing your adventures 😊

@marionrk 6 месяцев назад

Laura, that was just amazing. Congratulations 🎉. You certainly got rained on. How did you keep your feet dry? Loved the wild flowers, brought back memories of our time travelling in WA and SA. After the rain barren country would suddenly become colour for as far as you could see. ❤

@LauraWaddellTravel 6 месяцев назад

Thank you 💛 there was no shortage of rain but I’m very grateful for how beautiful and green it made everything! I carried a few pairs of socks and a hiking towel so I could wash and dry them as much as I could along the way. Your travels sound absolutely beautiful x

@grahamwalker2953 6 месяцев назад

You've got determination and grit to do the 1000 km track. Respect!! I did the 48 km Kokoda challenge in the Gold Coast hinterland last year and was hectic enough. Great video

@80ZX 6 месяцев назад

Wow, what a star you are. Your smile is infectious. Awesome video, fantastic narration and an epic trip. Rather weird feeling proud of someone i dont know, that was a real challenging hike and you smashed it. Becoming one of my favourite RU-vid channels. All the best.

@ianhassall3757 6 месяцев назад

An excellent video. Good to see you walked the unofficial section after Denmark. It really doesn't seem right hopping in a taxi for that bit. Congratulations on a great hike.

@PerspectiveAustralia 6 месяцев назад

My goodness! What an incredible adventure. You faced some big challenges. It’s such a beautiful track. Thank you for sharing the good, the bad, and all with a positive attitude. We’d love to walk even a part of this track. 🥰

@davidhill6819 5 месяцев назад

Lovely video and beautiful record of the wonderful Bibbulmun Track. Watching it brought back great memories of when I walked it -- much slower than you! -- a few years ago. Thank you

Congratulations, what a wonderful adventure. I have shared this video with a good friend who is a Park Ranger in Alaska, she hopes somday to come and do a section or two. Thanks for sharing and happy hiking 🤗

@chrishaigh82 2 месяца назад

@markmurray5391 6 месяцев назад

I followed your adventures on TikTok, you definitely had some less than average weather there! Amazing to see from the track perspective, I have camped and driven to many of the areas you walked through but never tried even a section of the track. Well Done!

@LauraWaddellTravel 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for following along. Weather was quite an experience that’s for sure haha. So glad to hear you’ve gotten to experience many of these beautiful spots 🙌🏼

@Mark_Jacobson81 6 месяцев назад

You’re a real trooper, Laura. Did get get sore back and shoulders carrying a lot of food and what looks to be a fairly large backpack? You look super fit and strong, but 30kms a day for 5 weeks with a full load of gear seems like a Herculean effort!

@LauraWaddellTravel 6 месяцев назад

Thanks! Not so much sore back/shoulders but definitely a few blisters 😅 my track fitness seemed to improve after the first week or so which definitely helped with long days. Very grateful for the experience ☺️

@bravocharlie777 3 месяца назад

Very inspiring Laura. You have an amazing can do attitude that is very contagious. I will now look into achieving this great track in the not so distant future. Thank you for sharing your journey.

@bradsparling3873 4 месяца назад

Congratulations Laura, awesome effort to complete the trail unassisted. Also a great and inspirational video and an amazing amount of work just to put it together, I'm sure. I'm going to check out some of your other walks for sure! Looking forward to the Larapinta trail....

Hey Laura, great video and a great achievement by you - just 5 weeks, wow! We’re living on Christmas Island for 2024, but hope to get out on the Bibbulmun Track next year. Can I ask when you did it - I’d guess Octoberish given the flowers and rain, is that about right?

@Tristan-i1j 6 месяцев назад
