Abstract
Mean pulse profiles and polarization properties are presented for nine southern pulsars. The observations were made using the Parkes radio telescope at frequencies near 1330 MHz; three of the nine pulsars were also observed at 660 MHz. A very high degree of circular polarization was observed in PSR J1603-7202. Complex position angle variations which are not well described by the rotating-vector model were observed in PSRs J2124-3358 and J2145-0750, both of which have very wide profiles. Rotation measures were obtained for all nine pulsars, with two implying relatively strong interstellar magnetic fields.
