The region around R CrA in the nearby Corona Australis cloud is a region of very active low- to intermediate-mass star formation to judge by the large number of embedded sources and Herbig-Haro nebulae found there. Molecular outflows traced by millimetre-wave line emission from CO are the tracer of the kinematics and morphology of large-scale mass loss from star formation, and are needed to investigate the dynamical effects of mass loss on molecular cloud structure and evolution. Here, we present results of a large-scale CO mapping survey of the R CrA region using the Swedish-ESO Submillimetre Telescope. Complex and numerous outflow structures are found, and a preliminary picture of large-scale outflow blowout from the molecular cloud is outlined.
