The Senior Australian of the year is working hard on a trilingual <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crocodileislandsrangers.com\/site.aspx\">Yan-nhangu Dictionary Publishing Project<\/a> that she hopes will be distributed to every primary school in Australia. A unique and profoundly important project. Working from her homeland on remote Murrungga Island she believes this three language learning resource will protect her rare language Yan-nhangu, and help promote the living language Dhuwal\/a, (7000 speakers). It will also encourage English-bilingual teaching and indigenous language education across Australia.
