The magazine contained many illustrations and engravings as well as original articles, poetry and short stories, musical and theatrical reviews, social and sporting notes which capture "the picturesque phases of our public and social life of notable objects and events in Australia and New Zealand".[4] It provides an important pictorial account of life in the colonies before the widespread use of photography.
Authors and poets who wrote for the publication include Marcus Clarke and James Brunton Stephens. Later issues had less literary content and more illustrated news items. In 1880 it briefly moved to a fortnightly publication which lasted until 1882 before returning to a monthly journal. In 1889, it merged with The Australasian.
