There is a lot of St John's wort growing in Isaacs and Mugga but not yet flowering. The Chrysolina beetles are There as well.

I have seen these beetles going to town on St John's in previous years. I didn't realize they were introduced as a means to control the weed. Have they been effective thus far?
