How to acces object inside CarouselView Xamarin.Forms

I have a Xamarin.Forms app that displays a ViewFlipper (https://github.com/TorbenK/ViewFlipper) inside a CarouselView.

I would like the ViewFlipper to flip back to the front when changing pages inside the carousel. But I can't seem to figure out how to access the ViewFlipper.

I have the following working code:

public class CarouselContent
{
    public string FrontImg { get; set; }
    public string BackImg { get; set; }
}

public class MainPage : ContentPage
{
    public MainPage()
    {
        var pages = new ObservableCollection<CarouselContent>();

        var page1 = new CarouselContent();
        page1.FrontImg = "page1Front";
        page1.BackImg = "page1Back";

        var page2 = new CarouselContent();
        page2.FrontImg = "page2Front";
        page2.BackImg = "page2Back";

        pages.Add(page1);
        pages.Add(page2);

        var carouselView = new Carousel(pages);

        Content = carouselView;
    }
}

public class Carousel : AbsoluteLayout
{
    private DotButtonsLayout dotLayout;
    private CarouselView carousel;

    public Carousel(ObservableCollection<CarouselContent> pages)
    {
        carousel = new CarouselView();

        var template = new DataTemplate(() =>
        {
            //create page
            var absLayout = new AbsoluteLayout();

            //create images for the flipper
            var frontImg = new Image
            {
                Aspect = Aspect.AspectFit
            };
            frontImg.SetBinding(Image.SourceProperty, "FrontImg");

            var backImg = new Image
            {
                Aspect = Aspect.AspectFit
            };
            backImg.SetBinding(Image.SourceProperty, "BackImg");

            //create flipper
            var flipper = new ViewFlipper.FormsPlugin.Abstractions.ViewFlipper();
            flipper.FrontView = frontImg;
            flipper.BackView = backImg;              

            //Add flipper to page
            absLayout.Children.Add(flipper);

            return absLayout;
        });

        carousel.ItemsSource = pages;
        carousel.ItemTemplate = template;

        Children.Add(carousel);
    }
}

I tried adding the ViewFlipper to the CarouselContent but I couldn't get that to work. Any ideas?
