Abstract: We have carried out radio imaging of two EGRET error boxes in the southern Galactic plane. The region within the error box of GeV J1417-6100 contains a hard X-ray source embedded in what appears to be a pulsar wind nebula (PWN) and also contains the young, highly energetic radio and X-ray pulsar PSR J1420-6048. As the gamma-ray source is variable, it seems likely that its origin is a mixture of emission from PSR J1420-6048 and the PWN. 3EG J1410-6147 appears to be associated with the SNR G312.4-0.4, which harbours two young pulsars within its shell. The relationship between these objects is unclear, although an HI determined distance should help clarify this. PSR J1413-6141 may be the origin of the gamma-rays if it is closer than its dispersion measure derived distance suggests.
