In an attempt to find new Planetary Nebulae we have short radio continuum observations at 6 cm and 3 cm of 90 PN candidates with the Australian Compact Array. We selected the unidentified objects from the IRAS Point Source Catalogue on basis of their PN colors. Detection of radio continuum emission at the IRAS position almost certainly confirms that these objects are PN, because it indicates the presence of ionized gas. Therefore the 18 detected sources are considered new PN. Because of their high brightness temperatures, they are probably young PN.
