  A high-frequency survey of the Galactic plane for radio pulsars is in
progress, using the multibeam receiver on the 64-m Parkes radiotelescope. We
describe the survey motivations, the observing plan and the inital results. The
survey is discovering many pulsars, more than 500 so far. Eight of the new
pulsars are binary, one with a massive companion. At least eight are young,
with characteristic ages of less than 100 kyr. Two of these (Kaspi et al, this
Conference) have surface dipole magnetic field strengths greater than any other
known radio pulsar.
