Here's the latest variant picture for Queensland, Australia.

XBB.1.16.* "Arcturus" (30%), XBB.1.9.* "Hyperion" (24%) and "Deltacron" XBC.* (22%) are the leading variants in a messy soup.

Among the individual lineages, there was recent growth in EG.1 (9%) - a "Hyperion" sub-lineage.

The mix of very different variants poses a raised immediate re-infection risk for anyone relying on natural immunity from a recent infection.

The sample volumes seem representative up to July 2.
