Ack! Cant believe I forgot to talk about this because it had me all seized up last weekend. Remember when I said the Michie Ct had become a little quiter this year? Well all the military peeps are back (it's not just army living here, there's navy, airforce, etc) and the pool parties have resumed. FMFL. Seriously. Saturday was Australia day and obvs I was predicting it was going to be bad news. Most people have BBQs and since I have no friends I was holding my own 2 person BBQ here, complete with beer pong :) Before the BBQ, we decided to go to the driving range to practice our swings (oh yeah, Darwin golf is back!). Come home and there are a million douches in the pool, complete with blow up doll and other things douches like. They are jumping off ledges (with the blow up doll), smoking in the pool, throwing around glass bottles, etc. In the meantime, I am hungry and want to start my BBQ, but the ledge they are jumping off is so close to my balcony it's almost attached. So I said fuck this, calling police. I call police, tell them what's going on, say I have kids here etc and police say they dont take noise complaints until after MIDNIGHT! Omg! It was 4pm! We knew there was a manager (or body corporate, as it's called here), living somewhere in the complex because they leave us notes if we leave our shoes outside (lol). So Jason decides he will just ring every doorbell until he finds them, which actually works. Now here is the real kicker! They are ALLOWED to have parties in there. She said she would go out there and tell them they couldnt smoke or have glass, but those are the only rules! That and it had to end by 1030pm. Wtf?! How can it be allowed to have huge parties in a shared swimming pool? Grrrrrr.
In golf news, before Christmas we drove 1 hour to get to the only mini golf course we hadnt been to around here. This one was a real classic. It was part of a hotel out in the remote area. We roll and in and immediately start arguing about who is going to go into the hotel and ask about the golf. Obvs it ends up being me. Theres no one there so I had to ring a bell - I say, hi I would like to play the mini golf and woman looks at me like "seriously?" hahaha. At this point I had no yet seen the course. So I say yes, 2 please. She tells me where to go and we are off down this path a little ways past the hotel. Talk about extreme mini golf! First off, the course is made from concrete. There was no turf AT ALL. Trying to putt on concrete was hilarious as obvs the ball just rolls. Second, there were 4 holes that were "unplayable" because the entire thing was underwater. Third, we may have been the first peeps to play on this course in quite some time because there were fallen branches and sticks everywhere, adding extra obstacles to the holes! Finally, there were green ants (vicious biting ants), mosquitoes, migees, etc EVERYWHERE, so as you were tying to putt, you were getting fucked up by these insects! At the same time, I was laughing so hard I was crying! Classic Darwin. Here are some pics:

An example of the extra obstacles. Makes it quite challenging.
Enjoying all the fun!
