Weather in Australia in June
June in Australia is mild enough that walking is the default. This is a city-break month more than a sea-holiday month.
A country pin in June is a warning: one region of Australia will not match another. Use a city page if you already know where you are going. June is winter in the southern year. A northern summer packing list is the wrong brief for Australia. Compared with January and July, June sits in the middle of Australia's year.

What to expect
Daytime
Mild afternoons in Australia are the prize in June. You can eat outside on the good days. You still want something for the breeze.
This is walking weather. Shade is useful, not essential the way it is in the hot months. A long outdoor day is a reasonable plan.
Rain
Rain is not the story in Australia in June. Pack for sun. A shower would be news, not a plan.
Do not build the trip around weather windows. Build it around shade if it is hot, and around getting outside if it is not.
Evening
Evenings are cooler. A layer helps after sunset.
What to pack
A layer for cooler evenings
