  The CANGAROO-III project,which consists of an array of four 10 m imaging
Cherenkov telescopes,has just started being constructed in Woomera, South
Australia,in a collaboration between Australia and Japan. The first
stereoscopic observation of celestial high-energy gamma-rays in the 100 GeV
region with two telescopes will start in 2002,and the four telescope array will
be completed in 2004. The concept of the project and the expected performance
are discussed.
