Resene Aquarius reflects the ocean and sky. Hot summer days stretch on forever just like the coastline. We spend days at the beach soaking up the sun and cooling off in the refreshing ocean, followed by balmy nights with fresh seafood on the barbie washed down with amber ale or chilled wine.Sydney is a shopping mecca of boutiques, malls, markets and ethnic neighbourhoods (Resene Shiraz). A bustling CBD sits on the edge of a majestic harbour with the famous Sydney Harbour Bridge (Resene Blast Grey 1) and the Opera House (Resene Rice Cake).
