Pulsars are among the most exciting and interesting objects in the Universe. They typically have very steep radio spectra, so they are most easily observed at relatively low radio frequencies. In this review, I summarise some recent important observational results and describe recent searches for pulsars, including the very successful Parkes multibeam survey.
