(Animated title - the lettering starts in an old style, then turns into a modern font):

In 1770 the English navigator James Cook charted the east coast of Australia. Eighteen years later a fleet of eleven ships dropped anchor off a small inlet that became known as cove.

(The presentation credit is also animated, using old fashioned lettering which turns into a modern font, and with "presents" turning up in the process). City of Sydney presents

(The main title is also animated, with the green cubes turning into the name of the city, and the old fashioned lettering giving away to a more modern font) SYDNEY A STORY OF A CITY
