RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
Permian mudstones and sandstones crop out
over much of the Richmond area; Triassic sandstones,
shales, and coal measures occur east of
Richmond and in the Sorell area. Faulting of
Permian and Triassic strata and injection of dolerite, possibly as sheets, broke up the area.
Lakes formed in fault-angle troughs produced
by Tertiary faulting; deposits in them occur
between Richmond and Sorell. Faults of Jurassic
and Tertiary age trending north and west of north
control topography and stream direction. The
Richmond Graben is Jurassic, pre-dolerite in age:
Tertiary movement occurred along earlier lines of
weakness.

The Royal Society of Tasmania acknowledges, with deep respect, the traditional owners of this land, and the ongoing custodianship of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania. The Society pays respect to Elders past, present and emerging. We acknowledge that Tasmanian Aboriginal Peoples have survived severe and unjust impacts resulting from invasion and dispossession of their Country. As an institution dedicated to the advancement of knowledge, the Royal Society of Tasmania recognises Aboriginal cultural knowledge and practices and seeks to respect and honour these traditions and the deep understanding they represent.
On 15 February 2021, the Royal Society of Tasmania offered a formal Apology to the Tasmanian Aboriginal people.
