One thing to mention, Australia doesn't have deciduous trees (naturally). We grow evergreen trees (eucalyptus, for one), and they make the environment seem "green" all year round.
Most of Australia isn't really cold enough to lose their green in winter anyways....I'm guessing if deciduous trees were more numerous they would lose their leaves based on daylight as opposed to temperature.
It would depend on the day. Atlanta has plenty of 20C+ days with mild nights. A bit of strength in the sun as well.
No -8C/2C days in Melbourne though and not to mention that much of Melbourne has the look of a wetter LA..
I''m going with Melbourne.
I think overall Atlanta feels less subtropical though.......I highly doubt Melbourne could ever average 11/1 on their coldest month....even in a record breaking cold month. I think "on average" Atlanta still feels less subtropical at least during winter.

11C seems a bit common, at least in the last winter. Lows below 5C, though, aren't.
Melbourne, last July (0.6C was the lowest low, even Sydney west gets lower temps):
But as an average high over the whole month? I doubt it.
Well, the average July high in Melb is 13C. It's not that far off 11C. An 11C average can happen, and maybe it happened once? I should find the historic data...
Our winter average high is 17C, and we do get a lot 15C days from time to time.
EDIT - Found it....Melbourne's historical monthly averages (I see around five 11C average highs in July & August in a 60 year span):
I saw two months and they averaged 11.7 C and 11.8 C.....Atlanta average 11.0 C as an average high. And that's as an average, in a cold January, Atlanta could probably average 7-9 C as an average high for January.

Except, two months did indeed average at 11.2C and 11.4C (look at it again).
Okay, I didn't know your point. All I said was that Melbourne can certainly average at that figure. And I'm aware that, in its coldest, Atlanta can go down to 7C.
Incidentally, Melbourne has even averaged at 29C in the summer.

Oh yeah, sorry I guess I didn't look hard enough at it.
And 29 C as an average high for Melbourne is impressive. I guess the deviations in Melbourne are just as high in summer as winter, which is certainly not true in North America.
