International travellers should note that the Grampians sits on the 37th parallel of latitude (south).
Have a look at what lies around about the 37th parallel in the northern hemisphere and decide whether you'd fly there for a climbing trip in winter : Algiers, San Francisco, Athens, Seoul(!), Springfield (perhaps not on your road-trip list). The Grampians is generally low-lying but is only 100 km north-west of the southern ocean so it gets weather blasting straight in from that. |
