Abstract

New HI observations of the Magellanic Stream have been made using the Parkes 64 m telescope. These observations highlight in detail its complicated structure and uncover new features of the Stream. The extreme velocity clouds (EVCs) are morphologically linked to the Stream indicating that these HI clouds are very likely truly part of the Stream. Also it is suggested that many of the high velocity clouds seen around the Stream are indeed part of the Magellanic Stream itself, and that the stream consists of many different velocity components in bulk motion.
