*The [[Princes Highway]] is more scenic and mostly not a freeway, but it's 200 km longer. You can try to take a train to ''Waterfall'' and walk to the highway. It might not be legal to stand there, though, and it's not a great spot. [[Guaka]] and [[amylin]] waited 10 minutes, declined a ride to the next town and then waited an hour or so. So possibly find yourself a better spot to start.
Louisa and Liam caught a train to Dapto on the Woolongong line. Its about a 2 hour train ride and you end up an easy 200m walk from the highway. There's a shopping centre ("Dapto Mall") near the train station that's on the highway, if you walk about 600m south from here you'll find a bus stop with a long line of site for drivers to see you, and room for them to pull over. Louisa and Liam waited here for 15 minutes.
*Take the [[Hume Highway]] if you're in a hurry (which you shouldn't be). It takes 10 hours to get to [[Melbourne]] if you are lucky enough to get a truck going all the way. It's less easy to get out than on the Princes Highway. Joy caught the train to Casula and hitched from the service station 10 min walk away (waited 10 mins). Check out multimap.com.au to see where to go, or just ask someone.
