A cooling system pressure tester lets you pressurise the cooling system while cold and not running so you can spot those tiny leaks at hose clamps, rad header tanks, gasket surfaces etc. They are a reasonably standard auto workshop tool if you have a friendly mechanic.

Planned YGLB, Marulan, Wombeyan Cave, YCRL, YGLB. Diversion about 5 min north of Marulan to YCRL via Chatsbury. Clear as day on the chart but the bastard doesn't exist! Sorted that out then an uneventful run home via Crookwell.
Well, 8 months after starting cross country training i'm done:cheers:
Broken shoulder, work, grounded planes and bad weather can all kiss my ass.
Where to now?
Eric,
I recently flew YGLB Nerriga Touga Tallong (diversion) YGLB, nice and compact. Look out for YSNW restricted areas but plenty of good cues along the route.
