RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
A sequence of low-grade metamorphosed rocks surrounding Bathurst Narrows and Joe Page Bay in southwestern Tasmania crops out between areas of higher-grade metamorphic rocks. The higher-grade rocks have undergone at least two deformation events which did not affect the lower-grade rocks and are inferred to be the older of the two sequences. The lower-grade rocks are divided into five formations with conformable boundaries between them. These formations together form the Clytie Cove Group. A correlate of the Clytie Cove Group occurs ten kilometres to the east of the type section of the Group, which is around Bathurst Narrows and Joe Page Bay. Previously proposed correlations of the Clytie Cove Group with rocks in the Davey River area and on the West Coast Range are invalid, as they were based on an incorrect and incomplete stratigraphic section at Bathurst Narrows.

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.
