Dunedin is a small coastal student city on New Zealand's South Island.
It's a little difficult hitching out of Dunedin because on the way out of the city there aren't any good places to catch a ride (as there are no places for cars to pull over). Also most of the traffic in the city area isn't likely to be going very far. The trick is to get out of the main city area and on to the state highways where there's lots of space for a driver to see you and pull over to pick you up. You could take a taxi to get out of the city but it'll cost between $20-30 dollars (which would be more than half the bus fair to get to whichever city you're heading towards. If you're traveling south you could take a bus to Mosgiel and simply walk to the highway. It usually won't take more than 20-30 minutes to get a ride.
Going North, towards Christchurch you might have some luck when you're still in the city. (Guaka and amylin got a direct ride to Christchurch within less than 30 minutes.)
