For a lift to '''Sydney''' via the Hume Fwy (M31) catch a suburban train to Craigieburn (which is also the last stop on the line of the same name) From here you walkWalk north down Hothlyn Drive and Walters Street about 10mins, which can either be done following the railway line north until you reach get to a bridge where nice set of traffic lights with an onramp to the Hume Hwy. Here the cars must slow down for the freeway passes underlights and there is a lane for traffic to pull over.  Similarly just walk east along a road that has an on-ramp onto the freeway, the walk should take a maximum of 15 minutes. Its pretty doable to get to Sydney within the same day as long as you leave Melbourne early enough in the morning. Follow the signs to Seymour (Road 55) and don't get confused with the different numbers on the signs, Seymour should be always right. Alternately, you can catch a 40 minute train from Melbourne Central Station or Southern Cross Station towards Seymour to Wallan. Wallan is just outside Melbourne and from the train station it's a 10 minute walk straight onto the Hume Highway.
