We present observations of fifty square degrees of the Mopra carbon monoxide (CO) survey of the Southern Galactic Plane, covering Galactic longitudes l = 300-350o and latitudes |b| <= 0.5o. These data have been taken at 0.6 arcminute spatial resolution and 0.1 km/s spectral resolution, providing an unprecedented view of the molecular clouds and gas of the Southern Galactic Plane in the 109-115 GHz J = 10 transitions of 12CO, 13CO, C18O and C17O.

We present a series of velocity-integrated maps, spectra and position-velocity plots that illustrate Galactic arm structures and trace masses on the order of ~106 Msun per square degree; and include a preliminary catalogue of C18O clumps located between l = 330-340o. Together with information about the noise statistics of the survey these data can be retrieved from the harvard dataverse and the PASA data store.
