We present a source catalogue derived from high-resolution observations of a selection of PMN sources with the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). The catalogue lists 8385 sources with flux-density measurements at 4.8 and 8.6GHz, derived from observations of all fields in the declination range -87{deg}<DE<-38.5{deg} (exclusive of galactic latitudes |b|<2{deg{) with PMN flux-density S_4850_>70mJy (50mJy south of DE=-73{deg}). We assess the quality of the data, which was gathered in 1992-1994, and the resulting source parameters. We describe the population of catalogued sources, and compare it to samples from complementary catalogues. In particular we find 126 radio sources with probable association with gamma-ray sources observed by the orbiting Fermi Large Area Telescope.
