How to reduce line space with the title?

[dataandcrowd]

I have a long title for my thesis. I rendered to a pdf but got too much vertical spaces. As an example, here is how it looks on my PDF:

The hydraulics of open channel flow: 


an introduction: basic principles, sediment motion, 


hydraulic modelling, design of


hydraulic structures

However, I want something like:

The hydraulics of open channel flow: an introduction: basic principles, 
sediment motion, hydraulic modelling, design of hydraulic structures

Is there any way I can reduce the vertical lines?

On line 189 of monashthesis.cls you will see this:

\Huge\textbf{\expandafter{\@title}}

Change \Huge to something like \fontsize{16}{18}\selectfont. Fiddle with the numbers until it looks right. The first number is the font size, the second is the line spacing.
