Australia’s most bizarre neighbourhood feud between a ‘verbally abusive’ great-grandmother, her one-eyed son, a voodoo doll and the woman they allege runs a brothel from her caravan next door, has escalated to an AVO and a court case.
An anonymous voodoo doll arrived in the Andersons’ mailbox ‘an hour before the postie arrived’ the baffled mother and son have claimed.
‘To Steve. I hope you have a rotten birthday,’ the handwritten card reads.
Steven and his 86-year-old mother Shirly have been fighting with their neighbour Kelly for nearly two years.
But Kelly, who openly admits she thinks her elderly neighbour is ‘a b*tch’ claims the surprise package had nothing to do with her.

‘I’m not a threat to anybody I don’t think,’ Shirly, a great-grandmother and mother of seven, told A Current Affair.
Although Shirly admits she has previously called her neighbour of 19 months ‘a smart a** bloody bastard’ she said it didn’t warrant the AVO taken out against her.
In fact, Shirly claims she’s not even able to walk far enough to reach her neighbour’s house and it was Kelly who has made the pair’s life hell.
‘She stands around the side of the caravan listening to everything we say,’ Shirly claimed.
Instead, Kelly (pictured) paints a different story and describes her neighbour as ‘mouthy’ and ‘vindictive’
Kelly’s caravan, which sits in the front yard, has also come under attack.
The mother and son duo say Kelly uses the caravan as a makeshift backyard brothel.
Although Kelly concedes the caravan is hers she remained coy regarding it’s alleged antics.
‘That’s my caravan. I can do whatever I want in my front yard!’ she said.

‘I can’t walk out in my backyard or my front yard without them carrying on.’
In another bizarre allegation, Kelly claimed the grandmother had slaughtered rabbits in her backyard and later shifted the blame.
Steven, who describes his neighbour as ‘nothing but rubbish’, denies the accusations, saying Kelly is merely making the allegation up to ‘big-note’ herself.
‘People that know mum know that she doesn’t swear … she might have a go occasionally,’ he said.
Neither neighbour is prepared to move.
Shirly said she has been in the house for 46 years and it’s too long to move.
Kelly, who insists Shirly started it all, also refuses to move.
Shirly will face a court on Friday for allegedly breaching the AVO taken out against her.
