=== Directon [[Adelaide]] (West) ===
==== Option 1 ====Go to one of the central Train Stations and get a ticket to Ballarat. It is about 10 AUD $ (in 2010). The ticket will let you get on what ever train you need to travel to the Southern Cross Station. From there the train takes you about 120 km out of town. Once in Ballarat your train ticket will also get you on the buses for the day. Cross the road from the station and take the bus 3 Creswick. Ask the driver to drop you at the Freeway on-ramp to Adelaide. This will save you a 5 km walk to the freeway. Walk 200 m down onto the freeway then hitch.

==== Option 2 ====
Take a train from Southern Cross in direction Ballarat and get off at '''Rockbank'''. Walk into the village, eastwards into Westcott Parade and turn left at the roundabout or into Elizabeth street. Walk along the highway until you see a bus station. This place is a good hitchhiking spot where cars can stop easily.
You can basically just take any lift you get offered, as you can stand virtually anywhere on the highway to Adelaide. Keep in mind that people who go all the way to Adelaide are more likely to leave Melbourne early, since the whole trip takes 6-8 hours.
''Rockbank'' is in Myki zone 2, so it'll cost you around 6,50 $ on weekdays and 3,50 $ on weekends. The trip takes about 30 minutes + 15 minutes walking, but the train goes only about every 2 hours, so check the timetable on [http://www.metlinkmelbourne.com.au/ metlinkmelbourne.com.au] beforehand.
