If you're referring to Melbourne, Australia, the temperature is very variable, depending on the season & where exactly you are. If we're talking about the city of Melbourne, & not including outer suburbs, then it ranges from around 5-10oC in winter (as a low), to the recent (February '09) record-breaking 47oC in summer. Overall, the temperature mainly sits betwen 10 & 30oC, averaging 20oC year-round. (This isn't scientifically substantiated [although I'm sure you could find evidence easily], but I've lived here for 22 years so I think I have probably a decent qualification on making such assertions).

This depends very much on the season and which part of Australia one is in. Bear in mind that Australia is a continent and, like all continents (with e exception of Antarctica) is subject to a great variety of temperatures.

The highest ever recorded temperature in Australia was 51.1 degre Celsius (equivalent to 127.5 degrees Fahrenheit) and it was experienced at Cloncurry in western Queensland in January 1889. This record is no longer acknowledged because it was measured using unsuitable equipment (that is, not in a Stevenson screen, which only became widespread in Australian usage after about 1910). According to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, the current heat record is held by Oodnadatta, in north central South Australia, which recorded 50.7 degrees Celsius on 2 January 1960.

Meanwhile, the world heat record goes to Marble Bar in Western Australia, which recorded maximum temperatures equalling or exceeding 37.8 degrees Celsius on 161 consecutive days, between 30 October 1923 and 7 April 1924. However, this is an extreme.

The southern states record some of the hottest temperatures in summer, with heatwaves easily exceeding 42 degrees Celsius for many days at a time. This is one of the main contributing factors to the severe bushfire conditions. It is important to note that not all of Australia experiences this extreme of heat. Many areas of Australia are pleasant to live in, with temperatures only occasionally becoming uncomfortably hot, particularly in the humid aras of the northern half.
