  We present the first radio observations of a sample of 13 optically and IR
bright southern hemisphere classical Be stars made from the Australian
Telescope Compact Array at 3.5cm and 6.3cm simultaneously. One star, delta Cen
was detected at 3.5cm and a second, mu Cen was also thought to have been
detected; further observations of this source are required to confirm this
detection. No sources were detected at 6.3cm, although delta Cen was previously
detected at this wavelength by other observers at a higher flux than our
detection limit. The radio observations show that the spectral energy
distribution undergoes a turnover between the far IR and radio wavelengths, as
was seen in previous studies. Likewise we find no simple correlation between
far IR and radio flux. Lower limits to the outer disc radius were found to be
of the order of few hundred solar radii; of the order of those found previously
by Taylor et al.
