'''Logo:''' We see a satellite shot of Earth as it appears from outer space, covered in clouds, and pointed so that Southeast Asia and Oceania are in view. The camera eases in gradually toward a still satellite shot of Australia as the shot rotates clockwise, bringing the island into view. Once we finish the zoom, "A film from" zooms out in a white serif font. Then "Roadshow", in a very strange white font, zooms out below, followed by "The Australian Company" in the same white serif font below that. | '''Logo:''' We see a satellite shot of Earth as it appears from outer space, covered in clouds, and pointed so that Southeast Asia and Oceania are in view.
