Abstract
The Parkes 2700-MHz survey for extragalactic sources now extends over virtually the whole sky available to the 64-m telescope at galactic latitudes |b| > 10°. Eleven parts of the catalogue have been published as Astrophysical Supplements of the Aust. J. Phys. (Numbers 19, 21, 26, 30, 32, 34, and 39); part 11 and subsequent parts consist of re-surveys of some areas to fainter flux density limits. The current version of the composite catalogue for the 7.36 sr covered (Fig. 1) contains about 7500 sources, together with the results of identification programmes and flux density measurements at other frequencies.
