To be quite frank no.

Though it does hold the record lowest temperature for Australia there are certainly colder places higher up in the alps (there just arn't any weather stations right up in the highest parts)

I assume the coldest place in Australia is in one of the high valleys right up on the main range in the snowy mountains (above 2000m). high altitude valleys tend to be slightly colder than the surrounding peaks because cold air generally sinks and accumulates, these are called frost hollows.

Though the highest parts of the snowy mountains tend to have the coldest winter temperatures they are prone to quite harsh summer temps.

But then I would say the coldest place in Australia on AVERAGE out of Australia's main states and territories would have to be Macquarie Island (Tasmania) where the summer temps rarely rise above 9 degrees in the peak of summer at the sea.

But having said that the coldest place in the whole Australian COUNTRY would then be heard island with summer maximums of 5 degrees at the hottest of times.

Other Australian cold places would also include the Tasmanian Highlands with snow commonly settling right down to 600 meters in the southwest near the coast.
