We propose observations which will quantitatively measure the impact of high energy jets in the radio galaxy Centaurus A upon its host galaxy NGC5128. This will be done by searching for emission lines associated with the Northern Inner radio lobe. SL/LL observations of the northern inner radio lobe will search for molecular hydrogen in association with UV emission in this region which is in excess of the jet synchrotron emission expectation, again providing constraints on the excitation mechanism. If shocks are present it is possible that other emission lines, such as [OIV] may be present also. This unique source offers the opportunity to study the details of jet-host galaxy interaction in a relatively nearby system (3.4Mpc).
