Can indoor orchids survive outside with some sunshine?.

Had two orchids, one pink and the other one whte. I had them for nearly 5 years, unfortunately the pink one died and the white one stopped having flowers and was nearly dead. Took it outside before Australian winter, repoted it and left it to catch a little bit of sunshine. Iam not an expert on how to care for the orchid or leave it out in a bit of sun. 😎Iam just so thrill with the out come. 😊 I just hope that it will get flowers on it soon❤️.
