Recent Mopra observations have detected emission from the rare 37.7 GHz methanol maser towards a dozen high-mass star formation regions, more than doubling the number of known sources. We will use the ATCA to make the first interferometric images of emission from this transition and use these to determine the typical characteristics of this transition in comparison to other more common methanol maser transitions. We have recently used methanol maser observations at 6.7 and 12.2 GHz, along with 1.2 mm dust continuum and data from the Spitzer Legacy project GLIMPSE, to quantify for the first time a maser-based evolutionary timeline. The observations undertaken for this proposal will be combined with these existing data to constrain theoretical models of methanol masers, determine the physical conditions in the regions where the masers occur and to refine a maser-based evolutionary sequence for high-mass star formation.
