The jaunty Dandy Pig neon sign was first erected in the 1950s on the
Princes Highway, Dandenong, Victoria, for the Gippsland Co-operative
Bacon Curing Company. After closure of the factory in 1983, the much
loved pig languished in storage before being restored and re-erected in
1993. The Dandy Pig was acknowledged by Greater Dandenong Council in
2013 for the sign’s social, cultural and historical significance to the
community.
