Weather in Sydney in June
June in Sydney is mild enough that walking is the default. This is a city-break month more than a sea-holiday month.
In Australia, this is how Sydney actually wears June, not how a country centroid would. June is winter in the southern year. A northern summer packing list is the wrong brief for Sydney. Compared with January and July, June sits in the middle of Sydney's year.

What to expect
Daytime
Mild afternoons in Sydney 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
June is a wetter month in Sydney. Showers are part of the deal, not a spoiled surprise.
Waterproof shoes matter more than a rain plan for a beach, especially if a beach is not why you came. Build indoor hours into the afternoon.
Evening
Evenings are cooler. A layer helps after sunset.
What to pack
Rain jacket
A layer for cooler evenings
