1 1 In The Nyitting Time Derek Nannup , Sam Cook , David Milroy , 2008 single work drama children's 'In the Nyitting time the land was flat and there was no KFC or Happy meals. The land slept deeply, waiting for the alarm to go off, waiting to be awakened. This was a different time, this Nyitting time, 'cause animals ruled and shook the earth alive. So come back, way back to discover the Nyitting time.' - Yirra Yaakin
