For quite some time now it has been recognized that Antarctica offers exceptionally good conditions for astronomical observations in many regions of the electromagnetic spectrum where other terrestrial sites are suffering from signal degradation, or are blind altogether. The sites that were found to be interesting are all inland on the Antarctic plateau, this includes South Pole, Domes C and F as well as the highest point on the Antarctic continent, Dome A. It should experience colder atmospheric temperatures, lower wind speeds, and a turbulent boundary layer that is confined closer to the ground. The Dome A site was first visited in January 2005 via an overland traverse, conducted by the Polar Research Institute of China. The PRIC plans to return to the site to establish a permanently manned station within the next decade. The University of New South Wales, in collaboration with a number of international institutions, is currently developing a remote automated site testing observatory (PLATO) for deployment to Dome A in the 2007/8 austral summer as part of the International Polar Year. In this presentation, I will give you an overview of PLATO as well as the telescopes already under way such as IRAIT, PILOT, LAPCAT and ICECube that we envision will further our knowledge of the universe in a great way.
