Elliot is an emu who lives in Kakadu National Park. He spends his days running on his very, very long legs, looking for bugs and pebbles to eat. He loves living in the Kakadu National Park and he loves the Great Land and Air Races that are held there. He is never allowed to enter the races though because he is a bird that cannot fly.

Elliot thinks that this is unfair and has been told that a platypus had once won the Great Land Race, and let's be honest, nobody really knows what a platypus is!

Elliot decides to protest and a meeting is held with all the animals of the bush, who vote to see if Elliot should be allowed to run in the Great Land Race.

Will Elliot be allowed to run in the Greatest Race in the bush and can he win with his very, very long legs?
