Matt and I frequently drive by "Little Audrey", the Skipping Girl Vinegar sign that much to Matt's dismay is never lit up. The sign was supposed to be destroyed when the vinegar factory closed but Melbournians caused an uproar and saved this Richmond icon. Last Tuesday she was lit up, partially anyway, and Matt was thrilled. The National Trust of Victoria has launched a campaign to raise $60,000 for the restoration of Little Audrey. Originally constructed in 1936, I know atleast one Melbourne man who wants to see this little girl skipping again.
