** Try and meet drivers at the gas stations ("service/petrol stations") around Thornleigh on [[Pennant Hills Road]]. This road services the majority of interstate and heavy traffic, and as these are the last fuel stops for anyone headed North, so most people will stop in, plus a 24 hour McD's also draws in traffic.
** Catch a train to Turramurra station ($3.40) on the Hornsby/Berowra line, exit the station, walk to the west about 200m and you come to arrive at the Pacific Highway. Cross the road and ask drivers for lift up north on the M1 at the 7-eleven service station there. *Catch a train to Thornleigh station ($3.40), exit the station and walk north east up Pennants Hills road. There are 3 service stations and a 24 hour McDonalds in the direction of the M1 within a kilometre walk from the station. This road services a lot of interstate and heavy traffic, and as these are the last fuel stops for anyone headed North, so most people stop here. You could try asking drivers at any of these places for a lift north up the M1.

* [[The Pacific Highway]] is the name shared by a number of roads which form a chain going up the East coast of Australia. Between Sydney and Hornsby, it is the main arterial road, but between Hornsby and Gosford it has been, for the most part, superceded by [[The "F3" Freeway]] (logically marked "National 1" on street signs), and is only one lane in each direction for good stretches, twisty, turny and doesn't get much traffic (unless the F3 is closed, in which case, you start seeing massive trucks trundling down tiny roadways). Due to the low traffic volumes, unless you are wanting to stop between Hornsby and Gosford (and you can get a lift all the way), it is recommended that you look at the F3.

Other options for getting a lift north up the M1:
=== North-West towards ''Bathurst'' via the ''Great Western Highway'' ===
