I just did Tongue Point and Miller's Landing/Vereker outlook. If you haven't seen the north end of the Prom then the weekend return idea is a good one. We have done Johnny Soueys return in a weekend a couple of times by walking in to Barry Creek on Friday night (the road is good enough to do this by head torch without difficulty) then to JS by early afternoon Saturday. The campsite at Five Mile is pleasant and it sees a lot fewer people than any of the southern campsites. It's not horrible, it just not the nicest bit of walking on the Prom. The scrub has been cut back from the track verge most of the way and it can be hot walking if it's sunny. ![]() You go through some pretty banksia forest and there are nice views over Corner Inlet for the first few kilometers but after that it's a bit ordinary until the last stretch down to Five Mile Beach. When you say boring do you mean just the track because it's a 4WD flat straight track or is the scenery boring as well ? The overnight walk to five mile beach is what I had in mind.

Across the first bit of the swamp it's very open going and you don't really need to keep to the "track'" but there are a couple of thick scrub bands in the middle of the swamp so if you lose it completely you're in strife. However there's only about 5 ks of difficult stuff and if you keep looking out for the tapes it's ok. The track here is very indistinct and it gets pretty wet - we did it in 2009 at the end of the drought and it was still knee deep in places. Most of the walking is pretty straightforward (the haul across to 5 Mile is a fairly boring road bash) but the leg across Chinaman's Swamp can be challenging. It's around 60 ks for the circuit, and you'd either need to cover the 40 ks to Tin Mine on the first day or stay somewhere around Lighthouse Point overnight (no water as far as I'm aware) and still do two big days.
