Fault striations were measured on 104 minor faults within the Parmeener Super-group near Hobart. The fault striations probably reflect the complex movement history on adjacent large faults. Sophisticated numerical modelling of the regional stress systems which produced these striations indicated at least two phases of faulting. The earlier phase was probably due to compression from the NNW in the Mesozoic and produced strike slip faults striking 1000 and 1700C. The later phase of faulting was caused by extension towards the ENE in the Early to Middle Tertiary and reactivated most of the early phase faults striking 1700 , as normal dip slip faults. A small number of fault striations could not be attributed to either of these events.

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.
