14 Streamline Moderne with Skipping Girl

Melbourne, Australia

The Skipping Girl Sign, originally known as Little Audrey,is possibly the first animated neon sign
in Australia, located in Victoria Street in the inner Melbourne suburb of Abbotsford.
She is an Australian Icon, recently renovated.
Her position is on the former Crusader Plate Factory,
which is together with the former neighbouring Handley and Tilley factory a Streamline Moderne style building.
