The island
Tubuai is the main island of the Austral Islands in French Polynesia, lying well south of Tahiti. From above it is a compact, rounded island made of two volcanic hill groups linked by a low central plain. It is surrounded by a wide lagoon, enclosed by a barrier reef with scattered small islets, or motu, on its edge.
The island has a well-known place in Pacific history: in 1789 the mutineers of HMS Bounty tried to settle here and began building a fort before leaving for Pitcairn. Today a coastal road circles the island, linking villages such as Mataura, the administrative centre, and Mahu.
A Tubuai map poster places the island at the centre of a much larger shape: the reef ring around the lagoon. The island's coastal road forms a smooth loop inside it, with a few roads cutting across the lowland. The empty lagoon water and the thin reef line together make a calm, balanced circular composition.
A broad lagoon enclosed by a barrier reef surrounds the island. On the map the reef forms an outer ring, with the island sitting well inside it.
Two groups of volcanic hills rise at either end of the island, connected by lower ground. Roads cross between them through the central plain.
A single road circles the island near the shore, connecting its villages. It traces a smooth line just inside the coastline, echoing the reef beyond.

Why Tubuai
Tubuai is hung by Austral Islanders, by families across French Polynesia, and by anyone who has followed the story of the Bounty. The lagoon and reef make a graceful, near-circular form on a wall.
Personalise the title, subtitle and coordinates line with a village, a family name or the island's name in Austral. Blueprint suits the reef ring and lagoon, and Paper gives the whole a quieter, chart-like finish.
