Changes

To get to the ''Great Ocean Road'' take a train to [[Geelong]](ca. 8A$ as of January 2013). Go right out of the station and onto the main highway. Bear left and walk a little to find somewhere a car There's no awesome hitchhiking spots anywhere near, but cars can safely stopbe stopped in different spots along the road. If you walk about 2 km (or more...) down the road, you will find a really good spot just before the bridge. From anywhere else between Torquay and Apollo bayBay, rides are extremely easy to pick up. == Public Transport == Melbourne Metro trains can be a bit tough to blackride, but it's totally doable once you figure out how - and really worth your while ''and'' definitely more ethical than going along with the company's extortional scheme of making you pay 6A$ just for a card that then you have to top up with money to be allowed to ride!  In most stations (except central/major stations that have barriers with somebody guarding; find a blind spot to hop over the barrier or wait until the guard is distracted and walk through the wheelchair gates) you can just walk onto the platform and the train - perfect for just going between suburbs. Occasionally there's ticket inspectors on the trains, rather heavy-handed fellows and not especially polite. If you're not Ozzie, however, there's not really any way they can make you pay a fine - except if you live in Australia and give them your real address, but who would do that?! Don't show them proper ID, show them something with your name on it (like a credit card) and then give them a fake address. They might make you ring somebody to confirm that address (they tend to find entries such as "mum" in your phone; they can really be aggressive), but if you set up somebody who knows which fake address to give you'll be golden. Enjoy!
