Once in Rockbank, walk into the village eastwards into Westcott Parade and turn left at the roundabout or into Elizabeth street. Walk along the highway until you see a bus stop. This place is a good hitchhiking spot where cars can stop easily.
However, if you don't mind walking for another 1-2 km, there will be a Service Station further down the road (you are able to see the big McDonaldMcD's sign from the bus stop). There it'll be easier getting a ride by talking to the people.
You can basically just take any lift you get offered, as you can stand virtually anywhere on the highway to Adelaide. Keep in mind that people who go all the way to Adelaide are more likely to leave Melbourne early, since the whole trip takes 6-8 hours.
Catch the Craigeburn bound train to Essendon and from there get on bus 483 towards Sunbury. Just bear in mind that the 483 bus leaves every 80 minutes on weekdays so make sure to click the link below to see the timetable by clicking [http://ptv.vic.gov.au/timetables/line/2256/ here].
If you get a nice busdriver you might be able to convince him to drop you off at the BP gasstation/Macdonalds rest area in between the stops Calder Park and Duncans lane. If he doesn't want to then get dropped off the stop called --> Duncans lane/Calders Freeway. From there you can either choose to walk back to BP/McDonalds McD's as that's a really good place to find long lifts (15 minute walk) or hitch directly from the busstop (beware of cops).
