To the right you can see examples of the limestone cliffs that feature in this area. Up in the hills in the top left corner you can see a collapsed surface. These highlight some of the challenges of hiking in this area. The terrain makes it extremely difficult but you could be hiking along and find yourself on the edge of a cliff. Being so far from help, that's why you stay on the trails.

I took this photo from the banks of the Melinau River in the Gunung Mulu National Park in Sarawak, back in 1989.

These buildings are multi-family dwellings with a public space along one side and private divided spaces on the other. The raised floor protects against flooding when it rains and allows air to circulate keeping the structure cooler when it's not raining. Traditionally, the roof would have been made from leaves but that lost out to the technology of corrugated iron many years ago. I can't image how noisy it is in there during a storm!

Above ground Gunung Mulu National Park is a network of rivers and trails cut through the rainforest. Today's photo is one view over the park. On this day, Mount Mulu itself was shrouded in cloud. In the foreground just right of center you can make out a stretch of a river.

The reason that sprang to mind was the skull-like shape just up and right of the center of this photo. It's actually just the way the sun in breaking through the jungle canopy to illuminate that one spot on this cave exit, but it does look like a disembodied head!

Quite why these three bats chose this spot I've no idea. But apparently, every evening they'd head out to feast in the jungle and then return here again at dawn. Home, sweet home!
