In this paper we present a wide-field radio survey at 300MHz covering the sky from using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA). This 300-MHz survey follows the Galactic and Extragalactic All-sky MWA (GLEAM) survey, and provides an additional comparatively high-frequency data point to existing multi-frequency (72–231MHz) data. With this data release we provide mosaic images and a catalogue of compact source components. We use two-minute snapshot observations covering 2015–2016, combining overlapping two-minute snapshot images to provide full-sensitivity mosaic images with a median root-mean-square noise of mJybeam−1 and median angular resolution of , with some position-dependent variation. We find a total of 338080 unique Gaussian components across the mosaic images. The survey is the first at 300MHz from the MWA covering the whole Southern Hemisphere. It provides a unique spectral data point that complements the existing GLEAM survey and the ongoing GLEAM-eXtended survey, and points toward results from the upcoming SKA-Low surveys.
