On Ferntree Gully Road at the bottom of Wheelers Hill they hide in a dirt driveway at night about halfway along the straight. Another place they are often located is on Jells Road. Halfway between Halfway between Ferntree Gully and Wellington Road, they usually park a VR Commodore on the nature strip on the west side of the road, with a little black box sitting next to the car. It is extremely easy to spot. The speed limit is only 60km/hr along this fairly main road.
Gilbert Road (Preston/Reservior):
Just after Regent Street (closer to the
city - ie. south side), same green station wagon as the one of Station
Street (I think).

Street, Black TR(?) Magna, NFX-010. Other cars have been used along this
long, wide, hill for several years. I always set my cruise control along the
length of this street!

south bound traffic, but there was a fuzz car hidden in the trees.

THe police have claimed that they don't put speed cameras at the bottom of
hills. This camera could be about 10m away from the bottom of the hill, so
they're technically correct in this case. Afterall, police never lie to the
media.

police as people tend to use it as a short cut.

Right near the Briner Signs sign, northbound, between Argus Street & Age
Street. This is a clever one as the speed limit changes from 60 to 70
about 100 metres after the speed camera's location. Lots of driver think
that the widening of the road and the huge expanse of fenced in grassland
is a good place to slowly bring their speed up to the 70 zone.

the camera is set to get people going North, but sometimes they turn it
around
to get the southbound traffic. This is normally in the 90 kph
zone.
Sometimes they will also set up a camera a little further north. The
normal
positioning is between the main exit ramp for Craigieburn and about 200
metres
further on. Pointing north almost
invariably.
