The distribution of galaxies is unknown for about 20% of the sky due to obscuration by the Milky Way. It is very difficult to detect galaxies in this region in the optical bands because of large extinction caused by the interstellar medium. Searches for galaxies are therefore on going in the radio, X-ray and near-infrared wavelengths. We describe the results of our own survey for the PKS1343-601 (b=1.73°) region; PKS1343-601 is the radio galaxy which was suggested to be the core of an unknown rich cluster related with the Great Attractor.
