The Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope (MOST) has been used recently to make a new survey of the Galactic Centre region at 843 MHz, spanning Galactic longitudes 1= 5o and Galactic latitudes in the range b <2?5. The resolution of the MOST at the declination of the Galactic Centre (6= - 29 ) is 90 x 43.5 arcsec2 and the sensitivity is - 5 mJy (dynamic-range-limited). The survey presents an unprecedented vista of the Galactic Centre and inner Galactic plane at a frequency near 1 GHz. This paper gives general discussions of some of the preliminary results of this survey, including wide-field images of the Galactic Centre region. Further papers will discuss specific results of the survey in detail. Key words: Galaxy: centre - radio continuum: general.
