Page owned the fourth-largest collection of Elvis Presley memorabilia in the world. His collection included Elvis' personal and movie clothing, marriage certificate, guitar, piano, the last Cadillac owned by Elvis, and original TCB Band necklaces. In 2008 he decided to donate the collection, reportedly worth $1.5 million, to a new Elvis museum in Parkes, New South Wales. Some of the collection was lent for display at the 2008 Parkes Elvis Festival.
Page was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia on 26 January 2010: "For service to the arts, particularly children's entertainment, and to the community as a benefactor and supporter of a range of charities". His nickname, according to Anthony Field, is "Pagey".
