How to buy in auctions when interstate ?

Most houses go to auction in melbourne. I'm interstate so how so people buy when it's auction ? Do you fly over or can you trust the agent to let you know over phone what is happening with the auction?
 
I once bid on a property for my brother-in-law. He was overseas on a business trip and couldn't be there. I must have had a power of attorney or something - it was about 15 years ago. Do have a friend in Melbourne?
 
Could ask a relative in melbourne. Can you get the agent to tell you what's happening at the auction ? Or you can't trust them ?

If you're spending hundreds of thousands surely it's worth the $500 to fly down? Could even fly back that day.
