Miniature Melbourne

Audrey, Melbourne’s Vinegar Skipping Girl. This landmark neon sign has undergone major changes since she was first conceived as a drawing competition in 1915. The image was immortalised as a sign in 1936 by the owners of the Skipping Girl Vinegar company. Audrey was left to disrepair in 1968 when the company relocated, but she was rescued two years later by the Whiteway Neon. In 2002 her lights were turned off when the company ceased funding, but the National Trust of Victoria reignited her in 2009. She now skips to the beat of solar-powered panels.
