Queens Road (Melbourne) 2K-J5, 2L-A8, 2l-A9: At night (from about 12pm-5am) police hide at the corner of the side streets halfway down the road a couple of times a week, usually for an hour or two at a time.
Lakeside Drive (Albert Park) 2K-J7: This road is patrolled regularly by the police, with a favourite hiding spot being behind the red and white barriers near the Albert Road end. Regular patrol cars including Div. Vans, cars, and motorcycles drive around the road, pulling over anyone going noticeably quick in the opposite direction.

Yarra Boulevard (Richmond): Between Melbourne Girls College and V.C.A.H. Burnley.
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 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/Reservoir): Just after Regent Street (closer to the city - ie. south side), same green station wagon as the one on Station Street (I think).
Gower Street (Preston): Between Plenty Road and Albert Street, near Inverloch 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!
Milleara Rd, (East Keilor): About 200 mts north of Keilor Park Drive Extension. Aimed to get people commuting from Western Ring Road to Calder freeway. Green VR commodore station wagon. Around 2-3 times a week.

Ferntree Gully Road: Just around the bend heading towards Oakleigh (west) from the Burwood Highway.
Huntingdale Road (???): In the deep gully between Ferntree Gully Road and the South Eastern (hardened) Arterial was a digitector (amphometer) last week. Only stopping south bound traffic, but there was a fuzz car hidden in the trees.
Dorset Road (Boronia): Near the park as you approach Boronia station from Burwood Highway (heading north). This is at the end of a gentle hill on a nice smooth road.

Another bast... is the Digitector (amphometer) on the larger hill approaching the petrol station (on the northbound side).
Albert Road (Boronia): Speed camera near the pedestrian crossing, usually on the school side. Also sometimes past Millers Road.
Millers Road (Boronia): At the bottom of the hill, near the tennis courts approaching Albert Road. 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. After all, police never lie to the media.
Orrong Road (Toorak) 2M-H8: Only heard about this one, not seen it. It's supposed to be at the bottom of a hill, er, I mean on the flat bit between two crests, between Malvern Road and Toorak Road.
South Eastern Arterial (Dandenong): Radar gun someplace outbound between Princess Highway and Hampton Park exits. Likes to hide behind trees.
Taylor's Lane (Rowville): Anywhere along this road, usually about halfway. It's a favourite for the police as people tend to use it as a short cut.
Warrigal Road (Cheltenham East): 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 drivers 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.

Normally 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. Craigieburn is around 25 km's north of the City, straight up the Hume.
Beaconsfield Parade (St. Kilda, Middle Park): At night as well!
Kirkham Rd (Dandenong): Between Dandenong Sth Primary School and Frankston Rd.

Further down the hill about 400m again as you cross the Eastern Freeway extension into Blackburn North, a radar is also in place.
Geelong Princess Highway (Rosewall) 224-G4: Speed Camera has been used in 80 zone just before the Freeway starts and the road goes to 2 lanes from 3, and turns left going north bound.

Princess Highway (Highton) 229-F2: Uses Speed Camera on northbound lanes, near CFA Fire Station.
Country Victoria

Goulburn Valley Highway: During day and evening police monitor this stretch of road quite heavily with moving radar, based in Shepparton. About 3km south of Nagambie, south of a bend is a little hideout which is used daily, most often at night, only visible at about 200m away. NOTE the Nagambie cop has the consent of the towns people to use his radar gun at will, so he does!
