Skipping Girl Sign, Neon sign in Abbotsford, Australia.
The Skipping Girl Sign displays a metal figure illuminated by neon tubing that creates a jumping rope motion effect at night.
First installed in 1936 at the Nycander vinegar factory, the sign was relocated in 1970 to a new location on Victoria Street following public demands.
The sign references a traditional skipping rhyme starting with salt, vinegar, mustard, pepper, common among children in Melbourne.
Visitors can observe the illuminated sign from Victoria Street in Abbotsford, with multiple public transportation options available in the vicinity.
The solar-powered sign performs 16,000 skipping motions each night, representing one of the earliest animated neon advertisements in Australia.
