The Pages

The Pages is a group consisting of two small islands and a reef lying in Backstairs Passage, a strait separating Kangaroo Island and the Fleurieu Peninsula of South Australia. The group is protected by designation as The Pages Conservation Park.

Etymology

The islands were known to the indigenous Kaurna people as Metalong. They were named “The Pages” by Matthew Flinders on 7 April 1802 from their fancied resemblance to pages guarding their strategic position at the eastern entrance to the strait.

Description

Geologically, The Pages are constituted of phyllites of the Brukunga Formation, formed from metamorphosed Cambrian sedimentary rocks. The two main islands, lying about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) apart, are similar in size; North Page is 400 metres (1,300 ft) long, 200 metres (660 ft) wide and 24 metres (79 ft) high, and South Page 450 metres (1,480 ft) long, 170 metres (560 ft) wide and 20 metres (66 ft)high. The reef, south-west of South Page, comprises two adjacent wave-washed islets, rising 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) or so above sea level, with a combined length of 380 metres (1,250 ft). The islands are rugged; they contain no beaches and access by sea is difficult. There is a navigational aid on the top of South Page Island.

The Pages (novel)

The Pages is a 2008 novel by Australian novelist Murray Bail.
