{"id":122,"count":3,"description":"The little tidal creek commonly known as Diver's Creek (Nuboloon in Bardi) was the perfect natural harbour for our old wooden Luggers. It provided protection from cyclones, a convenient place to unload the valuable pearl shell and re-provision for the next adventure out to the pearling beds. This type of Lugger base was also used for the \u201clay-up\u201d season when it was too dangerous to go diving and so the time was used to carry out the maintenance which was an endless task on the old wooden boats.\r\n\r\nDiving for wild pearl shell has always been a seasonal activity and the crew of the Luggers would come and go with the seasons spending most of the time living onboard the lugger and only returning to Cygnet Bay in the Springs.\r\n\r\nWhilst the Luggers were tied up in the creek over the spring tides, the crew would camp close by and over time the camps slowly became more developed into the houses you see today.","link":"https:\/\/www.cygnetbaypearlfarm.com.au\/divers-creek\/pearlers-shacks\/","name":"Pearlers Shacks","slug":"pearlers-shacks","taxonomy":"category","parent":119,"meta":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cygnetbaypearlfarm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/122","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cygnetbaypearlfarm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cygnetbaypearlfarm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/category"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.cygnetbaypearlfarm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories\/119"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.cygnetbaypearlfarm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts?categories=122"},{"href":"https:\/\/www.cygnetbaypearlfarm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/our-stays?categories=122"},{"href":"https:\/\/www.cygnetbaypearlfarm.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news?categories=122"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
