That's probably a reasonable assumption.

# host au.archive.ubuntu.com
au.archive.ubuntu.com is an alias for mirror.aarnet.edu.au.
mirror.aarnet.edu.au has address 202.158.214.106
mirror.aarnet.edu.au has IPv6 address 2001:388:30bc:cafe::beef

That host resolves to mirror.aarnet.edu.au, which is usually pretty
reliable, but they may have had downtime overnight.  If you try it again
now, what does it do?  Alternatively, select another mirror in your
update manager preferences.
