As reported in the Melbourne press - the iconic neon sign of Little Audrey is back. LITTLE Audrey was back up in lights last night. Melbourne's most recognisable neon sign has been restored and returned to its rightful place over the Abbotsford side of Victoria St. The Skipping Girl Vinegar sign flicked and flashed above traffic for the first time since 2001. After some much-needed restoration, the famous advertisement was hoisted into place on Thursday and finally switched on Friday night.
"The Skipping Girl is one of Melbourne's favourite heritage neon signs," Premier John Brumby said. "Little Audrey has been skipping for many years and I look forward to seeing her re-energised and back home."
First erected in 1936, the sign stood until its removal in 1968. Twelve years later a new version was constructed in the same spot. It was switched off in 1986, re-lit in 1990 and switched off again in 2001.
