Okay, I'd rate myself as a happy troglodyte, but the fact that the *world's biggest cave chamber!!!* is hardly three paragraphs is...kinda depressing. I think I may have a fuzzy picture of it somewhere, from a caver acquaintance who sent me it via email...but I'm not quite sure how to put them on, and it might be rather large. And I can't find any information on the book I referenced to either, the Donald Jackson one - it's hardback, a black cover and has a large pothole photo on it's front. I know it's old; 1985 said Amazon. I love Sarawakky, I want to go there someday just to boast that I have. Are there any more caving enthusiasts on here? I want to try starting the Porth-yr-Ogof page too; I've been there several times myself and I have the book on it.

I'm glad you like my article, however short it may be. The photo would be quite welcome, but you're asking the wrong person if you want help. I too got my info from an old book, so it shows that oldys are good for information. Thanks, Spawn Man 00:42, 26 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Nope...I can't find the photo. I think I deleted it from my inbox, as I'd recieved it about two years ago from that guy, and it was black and white, and huge in byte size...I think I'm/we're going to have to trawl the web if there's to be a photo. I don't think the Jackson book is in my University library, but I'll have a look because we have free scanners in there. *mopes* Lady BlahDeBlah 23:01, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Spawnman , are you a caver, and have you been to Sarawak Chamber? You have changed the text back to an earlier posting, which is incorrect. I have been there several times. Please don't add things to subjects you are not sure of. --Cavingliz 10:41, 30 July 2006 (UTC)cavingliz[reply]

Okay, I've visited this cave and many others in the Mulu resort this January. What I learned there is somewhat different from this article - there seem to be some misconceptions in this article concering the name of the cave and how to get there. In addition, it fails to mention one of the reason it is popular with tourists - it is host to millions of bats that fly out every night. The Mulu park have constructed a viewing platform close to the cave just for this purpose. As I remember, the guide also referred to the chambers as Deer cave, not Good luck cave. I am not sure on how to proceed in editing this though, as I don't have any sources to cite. I've only been there :) --RipperDoc 07:10, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
