We have recently completed a survey of the peculiar velocities of 1355 southern spiral galaxies. The Tully – Fisher relation was used to estimate the distances to the spirals. The photometry was done in the I-band using CCDs on the lm telescope and the Anglo-Australian Telescope at Siding Spring Observatory. The rotational velocities were measured from 1042 H-alpha rotation curves obtained with the 2.3m telescope at SSO and 609 H 1 profiles obtained with the Parkes radio telescope.
