Parbery, Douglas George   (1935 -  )

He was born in 1935 in Bega NSW;

He took his B.Sc.Ag at University of Sydney in 1958 and M.Agr.Sc(Plant Pathology) in 1961 at the University of Queensland where he also worked as a demonstrator in biology.

He transferred to University of Melbourne in the Faculty of Science from 1961 until 1969.

He commenced teaching plant pathology to agriculture students in the Botany School in 1961. He investigated the taxonomy of graminicolous species of Phyllachora and the kerosene fungus (Amorphotheca). In the Botany School, Arthur Paul (later at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology) described species of Pyrenophora and other fungi, some in collaboration with Parbery.

In 1970 he transferred to the Faculty of Agriculture and Forestry where he was Dean for several years and retired in 1995 as Associate Professor.

Following his retirement he was appointed Senior Associate in Mycology and Plant Pathology.

In 1992 he published a book: Fabric of a Family: A Story of the Lives and Relationships of Ordinary Folk who settled the Coastal Areas, especially the Far South Coast of New South Wales between 1833 and 1935 by D.G. Parberry.

It is presumed that fellow mycologist Ian Henry Parbery is his brother or cousin.
