''Some'' hitchhikers claim that it is very possible indeed to stick your thumb out anywhere on ''Sydney Road'' and just get lifts towards ''Sydney'' from there.
=== East towards [[Traralgon]], [[Bairnsdale]] and [[Sydney]] via the [[Princes Highway]] ===
==== Option 1 ====
*One hitchhiker has successfully got rides at the last traffic lights on Batman Avenue before the start of the Monash Freeway, right near the Rod Laver Arena.
*The Warrigal Road on ramp (walk to it from Holmesglen Station) sees a lot of traffic and there is a small space for cars to stop on the on ramp.
*Take the 901 bus to the Stud Road on ramp. One hitchhiker swears by this spot. There is a lot of east bound traffic here, the traffic doest doesn't go too fast, there is heaps of visibility, and there is lots of room for cars to pull over. Its easy to get a ride to the BP service station at Officer about 25km from there.
Between Bairnsdale and Eden, there is a long stretch with no bigger towns in between. Be prepared for longer waiting and possibly need to sleep outside. Not the fastest way in order to get to Sydney, but definitely doable, and loads of interesting spots at the coast along the roadway. For a more direct connection to [[Sydney]], the [[Hume Highway ]] is better recommended rather than the scenic coast road.
=== West towards [[Adelaide]] ===
