The 6dF Galaxy Survey is measuring around 150000 redshifts and 15000 peculiar velocities from galaxies over the southern sky at |b|>10 degrees. When complete, it will be the largest survey of its kind by more than an order of magnitude. Here we describe the characteristics of the Second Incremental Data Release (DR2) and provide an update of the survey. This follows earlier data made public in December 2002 and March 2004. A total of 83014 sources now have their spectra, redshifts, near-infrared and optical photometry available online and searchable through an SQL database at http://www-wfau.roe.ac.uk/6dFGS/.
