Take the following as truth: Stream is often said not to be used in Australia except in metaphorical ways, normally being replaced by creek . Warburton's   sandbanks intercept the stream, which finally splits into narow water-courses and spreads itself over the plains, and so it ends as a creek  suggests a somewhat more complex relation between the two words.
Then the following statement: "In Australia, stream and creek carry the same connotation." is true, false, or inconclusive?
Answer: False
