==Early life and education==
David Manning Foster was born on 15 May 1944 in the Blue Mountains〔(Pan Macmillan Australia - Author: David Foster )〕 in New South Wales, Australia to George and Hazel (née Manning) Foster, vaudeville and radio performers who separated before his birth, and spent his early years in Katoomba, raised by his mother and maternal grandparents. In 1950, Foster spent six months in Katoomba Hospital recovering from poliomyelitis, a disease that left him with a slight limp. His mother married a bank officer and Foster attended high schools in Sydney (Fort Street High School), Armidale (Armidale High School), and Orange (Orange High School) as the family moved from city to country towns.〔'David Foster' compiled by Annabel Frost. ''Australian Country Style'' (March 1996). pp.18, 20.〕 At Orange High, Foster began playing drums professionally in a jazz dance band.
In 1961, Foster commenced a Arts degree at the University of Sydney in Sydney, but he left studies after a year to work and travel.〔Foster, David. 'Aggression in Sleepy Hollow' ''Australian Book Review'' 65 (October 1984). pp.9-10.〕 A year thereafter, in 1963, he return to the University to study chemistry at the University of Sydney School of Chemistry.
Foster worked part-time as a musician and as an engineer at Marrickville Council while he completed his Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. He was awarded the University Medal for Inorganic Chemistry in 1967 and moved to Canberra for a Ph.D. in Biological Inorganic Chemistry at the Australian National University, from which he graduated in 1970.〔(David (Manning) Foster Biography - Australian, Novel, Penguin, and York - JRank Articles )〕
