Yes — Melbourne gets cold by Australian standards, and warmer than the UK fears but colder than the UK expects. The straight answer: Melbourne winter daytime maximums sit at 13–14°C in July, with overnight lows of 6–7°C. That’s milder than a London winter but colder than a London spring. The cliché that “Australia is hot” is true for most of the country and outright wrong for Melbourne in June, July and August.
