RST Apology to Tasmanian Aboriginal people 2021.
The term “Wurawina Supergroup” is proposed for the conformable sequence in western Tasmania
consisting of the Denison Group, the Gordon Group and the Eldon Group or the Tiger Range Group and their correlates. The Supergroup rests on early Late Cambrian or older rocks and is folded, and then intruded by Late Devonian andEarly Carboniferous granites. It is Late Cambrian at the base and Early Devonian at the top.

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.
