We present a source catalogue of 9,040 radio sources resulting from high-resolution observations of 8,385 PMN sources with the Australia Telescope Compact Array . The catalogue lists flux density and structural measurements at 4.8 and 8.6 GHz , derived from observations of all PMN sources in the declination range -87 \degr < \delta < -38 \aas@@fstack { \circ } 5 ( exclusive of galactic latitudes |b| < 2 \degr ) with flux density S _ { 4850 } \geq 70 mJy ( 50 mJy south of \delta = -73 \degr ) . We assess the quality of the data , which was gathered in 1992–1994 , describe the population of catalogued sources , and compare it to samples from complementary catalogues . In particular we find 127 radio sources with probable association with \gamma - ray sources observed by the orbiting Fermi Large Area Telescope .
