In 1971 it was published quarterly, and in 1974 it ceased publication - but was revived in 1978, and has been printed continuously since then. It is a monthly, magazine-style publication containing reviews of books, magazines, journals and exhibitions, diaries and travel writing, relating to Australia. It also publishes essays and new poetry. Peter Rose is the current editor of ABR, and the Chair of the magazine's board is Morag Fraser.
