RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
In the Kingston-Blackmans Bay area, flatly
dipping Permian marine sediments ranging in age
from the Quamby Group (Upper Sakmarian) to
the Ferntree Mudstone (Kazanian) are overlain,
with slight angular discordance, by terrestrial Triassic
sandstone. The sedimentary rocks have been
intruded by Jurassic dolerite in the form of sills
and transgressive sheets. Tertiary faulting, producing
an approximately north-south parallelism
of large-scale structures, preceded volcanic activity
in which basalt flows covered much of the area.

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.
