Miri    
At the northern end of the Sarawak coastline, Miri owes its present prosperity to the discovery of oil in the early 1900s. Today it is a busy commercial centre and the third largest town in the state of Sarawak - though one where a number of time-honoured local traditions are still upheld. Miri is the jumping-off point for the overland journey to renowned Gunung Mulu and Niah Caves National Parks
