The bit people don't expect
Lift the mountains off the wall
The terrain disc sits on a magnetic mount on the front of the frame. Take it off to feel the ridges you climbed, hand it round the table, then set it back. The magnet holds it in place.

Type 2 fun: miserable at the time, the best story afterwards
Why it exists
A photo shows where you were. This shows what it took.
Every big walk has a moment you keep coming back to: the climb that would not end, the saddle where the cloud lifted, the last kilometre into camp. A phone photo flattens all of it.
A Type 2 Tales disc keeps the shape of the country. You can see the climb, trace the valley with a finger, and point at the exact spot where it started raining.

Disc only or framed?
Both are the same 120 mm terrain disc with your route inlaid in red. Disc only (A$29.95) is the disc on its own. Framed (A$79) adds a printed sheet with your hike name, start and finish, your name, the elevation profile and the numbers, in a white A4 frame with an easel. On the framed one the disc sits on a magnetic mount and lifts off.
What's in the box?
Disc only: the 120 mm terrain disc. Framed: the disc, its magnetic mount, your printed sheet and a white A4 frame with a fold-out easel and a hanger.
Which apps can I export a GPX from?
Garmin Connect, Strava, AllTrails, Gaia GPS, Komoot, Suunto, Coros and most others. Look for "Export GPX" on the activity or route. A planned route works too.
Does the disc really come off the frame?
Yes, on the framed version. The terrain disc sits on a magnetic mount on the front of the frame. Lift it straight off to hold it or pass it around, then set it back on the mount and the magnet holds it in place.
What happens to my GPX file?
We remove timestamps, heart-rate and other sensor data as soon as it arrives, keep only the route line, store it privately, and delete it 90 days after your order is delivered (encrypted backup copies clear within 30 more days). We never sell or share it.
How long is the route allowed to be?
From a short summit walk to a multi-day trek. Very long routes are scaled to fit the disc, and the preview shows you exactly what will print before you pay.
Is the terrain real?
Yes. Elevation comes from open global terrain data, credited on every preview and sheet. Height is exaggerated slightly so the hills read clearly on a small disc.
Can I change the text after ordering?
Email us within 24 hours of ordering and we will update it if the disc has not gone to print.
Shipping and returns
Made to order
Draft copy: needs Bob / legal check before publishing
Shipping
We ship anywhere in Australia with tracking, included in the price. Each disc is made to order in Australia and finished by hand, so please allow time for making before dispatch. You will get a tracking link when it leaves the workshop.
Personalised items and returns
Every disc is made from your route and your words, so we do not accept change-of-mind returns. Please check the preview and the text before you order.
If something is wrong
Your rights under the Australian Consumer Law still apply. If your disc arrives damaged, faulty, or not as described (for example the wrong route or a typo we made), contact us with a photo and we will repair, replace or refund it.
