Weird spot to jump out but the guy was pulling off and said it was the best spot so far. It’s of room for cars to pull over. No shade and you’re near nothing so if you don’t get a lift make sure to have all your camping stuff with you. Worked well for me tho

Sign for Kalgoorlie, got picked up by a trucker heading there but jumped out at Coolgardie to take a short cut down to Norseman. Not sure if I advise this, not much traffic heading down from coolgardie but lots of points going from Kalgoorlie south. Either way I got scooped up.

Not a lot of traffic at all ~ 5-10 vehicles in the hour I was there 4pm Wednesday. Got scooped up by a trucker heading to the Nullabor. Big sign saying NORSEMAN

Jumped out where my truck was switching trailers. Other guy was on his sleep break so I went for cars. Got scooped up in 2 minutes - chill bloke heading along looking for waves on the south coast. Big EAST sign

Stayed the night here under the generosity of the owners. Had a bit of a piss up with the local teachers from the area which was fun. Same as every road house coming across. EAST on my sign and I got scooped up immediately. Got lucky and shared a car all the way to Sydney. Helped the guy out sharing the driving and we got there in 2 sleeps

Good pull over spots, big enough for trucks

Worst spot ever, camped and had to hitch on the corner with 130km traffic. Somehow got a couple that were heading to Brisbane. Luckiest lift yet. Helped share the drivinf

Decent spot but not the nicest crowd to hitch around. Go a lift by a guy who loves just 20mins south, took it so I could camp somewhere that wasn’t Katherine

Decent spot, dirt for cars to pull onto - no shade

Didn’t mean to be picked up - had committed to walking to Woolies but got scooped up by a pilot and given a bed to sleep in that night :) decent spot if you were going to hitch but no way to know where the cars were heading

This is a good spot to hitchike to Esperence, Perth or Albany in one go. There is not a lot of traffic, but many cars stopped for me. Position yourself near the gas station and the RV park so it’s easy to approach people.

Lots of Traffic, going to Perth.

Not much traffic towards Port Augusta.

Lots of traffic at this gasstation, but most are going towards Yorke Peninsula.

Guy was already stopped here and gave me a ride

Nice guy took me right to e destination

Solo females. Finished the Golemo Ezero hike and walked towards Nižepole while listening for cars. Thumbed and the first car stopped for me. They were going to Bitola so they took me right to my hotel. The guy grew up here but has lived in Australia for many years, building his retirement home here lol. Cool background! Seems that cars are way more likely to stop in a village with minimal traffic

Most drivers wouldn't look at me, or would just smile and go, the truck driver that gave me a ride told me that hitchhiking is not that common - he only took me because he was used to hitchhiking from Australia

Heading out to cross the Nullarbor, this BP station is strategically the best spot to look for a lift. Unfortunately, the roadhouse owner is one of the biggest pricks one can meet in Australia and will promptly kick you off the property (and then yell at you for an additional 5 minutes). It's best to avoid the property itself and stand adjacent to it, or you may get the cops called on you. Should the owner decide to bother you anyhow, there's no use reasoning with him, so just tell him to lick a camel's ass. Anyone planning to cross the Nullarbor should also note that the Ceduna IGA is the last reasonably priced grocery store that you will find for a long, long time, so stock up.

If heading westward, do yourself a favor and turn down the ride offer to Penong. The same traffic will be passing through Ceduna, where there is a grocery, relatively inexpensive (for rural Australia, anyway) bottle shop, and a nice beach. Penong has none of these things, and both the petrol station and general store are very expensive. (The flies are horrible and there's hardly any shade, either.) If you are stuck here, camping spots aren't hard to find, and the pub is a friendly place to relax after a day of hitchhiking failure.

This is the port Augusta "Train station". Catch road trains to Darwin and Perth, or the other way to Sydney, Adelaide, etc. If going North or West, don't settle for anything less than a ride all the way to where you are going. Good luck. This spot is excellent, compared with elsewhere in Australia.

Seriously couldn't find a better hitching spot that this in australia. Anyone would get a lift in less than 5 mins. Anywhere on this road is good, but especially on the bit near the BP petrol station. Traffic will be going either North (towards brisbane) or West (to Lismore)
