RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
In 1836 R.C. Gunn sailed in the Sloop Rebecca from Launceston to Port Phillip, Western Port Bay and Port Fairy. He was on the way to his new residence at Circular Head, Tasmania, but used the opportunity to look for grazing land on the mainland. He reports his observations during the cruise. The text is illustrated by newly available portraits of Gunn and his wife.

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.
