There has been plenty of continuing rain in June and July. My understanding is this is likely to continue until the beginning of summer due to a negative Indian Ocean dipole.

This causes more moisture-filled air to flow towards Australia that promotes more rainfall to southern parts of Australia including parts of Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, NSW and the ACT. I believe this has also contributed to a milder winter so far.
