They don’t come any livelier than the boy from the bush, Don Elgin.  Entertaining, motivational and an all round larrikin; he represented Australia in the athletics at four World Championships, three Paralympic Games, two World Cups and a Commonwealth Games.

Don Elgin was raised in the NSW town of Tocumwal. Being born without the lower portion of his left leg was no barrier for this boy who would make his first Australian team at 18 years of age, becoming a World Champion and a staggering 20 years later would represent Australia at the Commonwealth Games.
