Articles: Brigade Council Meeting at Miri, Sarawak

Inside the cave
The Deer Cave is reached by following a 3 km plank walk with much to see on the way, including some superb rainforest and jungle streams. When we reached the cave’s entrance, there was no doubt that we were about to enter the largest cave passage in the world. Deer Cave is simply huge and is not less than 90m high and wide.
An amazing cave scenery

A visit to Deer Cave is usually combined with one to Lang’s Cave. The entrance is a short distance away from that of the Deer Cave. Lang’s Cave is smaller but its rock formations are well worth seeing. The strategically positioned spotlights make these more attractive, highlighting the stalactites and stalagmites.

Heading to Clearwater Cave

After the breathtaking sight of the caves, we were treated to the spectacular sight of a black cloud of free-tailed bats emerging from the entrance of the cave to go in search of food. We waited until 6.30 pm (about1 1/2 hour of waiting) before the well over a million bats flew out covering the evening sky.

At the entrance of Clearwater
Cave

The following morning, we headed for Clearwater Cave, Asia’s longest cave, measuring some 107km. We traveled by a longboat along the Melinau River stopping off at Wind Cave along the way. A plank walk leads from the riverbank to the entrance of Wind Cave, named so because of the cool breezes that could be felt at the narrower parts of the cave.
