# There's a big truckstop / petrol station a few km out of town, just after the caravan park, where lots of trucks stop. It would be a good place to ask the drivers and catch a ride. Asking for a ride to Port Augusta might be a good idea.<br />''I waited in that station for about 15 minutes and got a ride to [[Port Augusta]] and from there a ride all the way to [[Perth]].''
# You can also stand on a random bus stop or other place along the A1 and try to hitch from there. You can get there with bus number 224 or 225 from King William st. in town. But try to avoid that if possible, it can get hot, there's no shelter and people are not keen on stopping.
'''Option 3'''
I didn't find the truck stop that these vague directions above gave me but I found a good space for hitching.
From the centre of town get a train ticket to Salisbury Interchange. The train is quite regular even on a sunday so you can relax about getting there. From the Salisbury Interchange get the bus. During the week the 900 will take you right to the intersection of Port Wakefield and Waterloo Roads [http://timetables.adelaidemetro.com.au/timetables/routemaps/401-403-900_270909_routemap.pdf (map)]. In the weekend the 401 will get you near there and if you have a nice bus driver like i did might take you up to the roundabout to save you some walking. The intersection has traffic lights on a quick cycle so the traffic is reasonably slow and there is a large area along the side to pull into.
=== Southeast towards [[Melbourne]] ===
