The second is the fact that his walk is far from a short and easy stroll.
He walks up the great Greenmeadows hill called Sugarloaf, and then after going down the other side, walks "a couple of blocks" back to his car.
"I'm not sure how far that is - but it's a bloody long way," he said with a laugh.
"It takes me about an hour."
Anyone who knows Mr Page, or had work dealings with him when he ran Page Plating up until its closure last May and retired at the age of 95, will probably not be surprised.
"I was lucky in the fact that I worked all my life and I looked forward to it," he said.
"It was physical and it was mental."
While he said he had been lucky and blessed with good health, his philosophy was simply one of "keep moving".
"Once you stop you're sunk," he said, adding he was pretty sure he will tackle the Sugarloaf peak when he turns 97 next June.
"I think I'll make it and after that we'll see."
His only aid was a stick, which he used for the downhill stretch as at certain times of the year the grass could be slippery.

He said despite his knees being "a bit wobbly" they were holding up pretty well. Although he got a bit frustrated at losing some of his strength, particularly in his hands.
"It's getting tougher getting the tops off those damn plastic milk bottles," he said.
A mate passed on his advice after experiencing the same problem.
"He punctured a hole in the top with a screwdriver, but I haven't had to do that yet."
Finally retired from the business he started 59 years ago, he reckoned it was like being on holiday every day now.
"You have a walk, have a cup of tea, read the paper and that's half the day gone."
But he is not finished with work just yet.
"No, I keep moving and there's work to do around the house."
