A thirteen-beam HI receiver has been constructed for the Parkes radio telescope. When this instrument is used in active scanning mode, it can rapidly survey large areas of sky, with a relatively uniform sensitivity. The Multibeam Working Group, comprising about 30 astronomers from more than a dozen institutions, is undertaking a blind HI survey of the entire southern sky. The status of the survey is described, with some of the first scientific results.
