RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
Rccconnaissance geological mapping of the Frenchmans Cap National Park confirms
the presence of Precambrian metasedimentary assemblages representative of the Franklin,
Mary and Scotchfire Groups and has documented part of their distribution. The
structural succession of rock groups is shown to be, in descending onder-Franklin,
Mary and Scotchfire. It is suggested that the Scotchfire Group is a stratigraphic
equivalent of the Joyce Group but of slightly lower metamorphic grade.

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.
