Today's blog is themed "Lollipop Girl" model and I thanks ShutterBugs for allowing me to join them in their photo session. They were fun to work with and I look forward to have more photo session with them;P

Batu Niah Cave - The Great Cave of Sarawak
This is the cave I have visited three times but never have I walk and complete the exploration of the cave. So many tell tales about the cave, forest, indigenous people and my grandmother had never allowed me to go remote places such as this and furthermore years ago the trails to the caves were slippery with just two pieces of planked footpath that you need to balance yourself and prevent getting yourself off the muddy swampy wet ground from forest's leeches and bites from insects.
This was my fourth trips and I was determine to capture the beauty of Sarawak's blessed natural rain forest, its environments, its inhabitants and most of all the great cave, Batu Niah Cave.
Today's journey to the cave is much much easier with 3km or more, 5 foot planked footpath, starting from the entrance, for people to walk to the caves. Going to Batu Niah is accessible by road from Miri, about 1hour drive. Sarawak's Niah Cave claim to have the oldest relices of human habitation in South East Asia with remains dating back 40,000 years. The great caves within the park also contain paintings estimate to be over 1000 years old. This is a "It's magnificent!" remarks by an Australian woman I encountered but could not manage to make it to the painting caves as she was exhausted to walk another ten minutes further.
Sure am glad I am able to see it with my own eyes and captured it with my photography. The caves is an important pre-historical site. Truly awesome and unique beauty of Sarawak.

Can you see the five foot planked stairs walkway? It show the hugeness of the cave.
This is the traders cave before getting to the main cave.
There is a zine roofed shelter where exhausted travellers can rest. The roof is to prevents dropping from swiftlets. If not for the opening above the cave it will be total darkness. One will need to bring along a touchlight as 80% of the way to the end of the, about 1.5km, main cave took us about 1hour 20minuites to complete.
Painting on the cave
This are the painting dating well over 1000 years.
