Neighbors from Hell?

How does one deal with serial complainers. There is an old lady that lives next door to us that likes to complain about every little thing. She complains just about every day about noise. No matter how much we try to comply it is never good enough for her. She complained about the noise from a fan for crying out loud. She has done nothing but harass us since the day she moved in. She wants to get us kicked out of our home and wants to sabotage our chances to live anywhere else, She is petty and vindictive and I want it to stop. I live in Western Australia.

What can I do about it (legally of course)? I mean things like restraining order, sue for defamation etc?

Update:

Problem solved. I moved and into a much nicer place.

    Talk about a possible harassment lawsuit with you lawyer.

    If she continues in the meantime, threaten to call the police.

    start logging her complaints - get evidence pictures and sound - dont speak to her without a recorder running - when you think you have enough to prove your case apply for a restraining order.
