We are studying the molecular clouds in the region around G333.6-0.2 in a number of 3-mm transitions from different molecular species, to probe, among other things, the turbulent properties. The observations are being made by on-the-fly mapping with the 22-m diameter single-dish Mopra radio telescope. See Bains et al. (2006) and Cunningham et al. (2006 in these proceedings) for more details. During 2004 and 2005 we obtained 13 CO (1 – 0), C18O, CS (2 – 1) and C34S data. Using the different molecular tracers gives complementary information about the gas density structure, due to the different critical densities, and different isotopomers allows correction for optical depth effects.
