Abstract

This paper is based on a report given at the ASA Conference in July 1994, but takes account of subsequent developments up to the end of the year. The present state of the Two-degree Field (2dF) project for the AAT is reported. Good progress is being made on all fronts but some slippage has occurred, so that the instrument is now expected to begin astronomical observations only during the second half of 1995. An outline of other current and future instrumentation plans at the AAO is given.
