Divided firstly by states and then subdivided by regions, each climbing area is introduced indicating routes to follow. Maps are also used to indicate the various climbing regions and the location and number of routes available in each area. Each area feature includes a summary of what to expect, including transport, geology, accomodation, a brief history of notable climbs, route notes and recommendations. Climatic conditions are also covered, including when to climb each area, natural hazards, basic first aid and emergency procedures and grade comparison - Australia's grades versus international grades and a history of Australian climbing.
