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.
