I've always thought of 23 being more like 11c. A simple way to convert Australian grades into US is to simply halve the Australian grade ie. 24 is 5.12, 22 is 5.11, 20 is 5.10.... 12 is 5.6. It doesn't work so well on the higher grades however as 28 (not 26) is usually 5.13.

These grade comparisons worked between Yosemite and Arapiles. I can't comment on sport climbing areas and their softer grading.

But I agree with the comment regarding Arapiles over the Grampians. The Grampians have plenty of great cliffs, but if you only have limited time then go to Mt Arapiles. There is no better single crag in the world for climbing at the grades you want. It is also the best place to find climbing partners as there is a regular climbing scene at this time of year. I live nearby but probably won't be available to climb. I can lend you a tent, rope and guidebook if you need.
