Okay okay loving this Mountain preference there seems to be!
How about.... lake vs river?
I'd say lake because whenever I think of rivers it's shitty tiny little streams of water like I got out in the country or Rusty Bucket Bay pollution like the Yarra in the CBD. Narrandera in NSW has the Lake Talbot water park so that's probably what i think of for lakes
I don't think I could choose between them.
River. It's just better
I'm a big fan of flowing river!
River.
I've lived on a big river and loved it.
How big of a river? Vs, say the Murray? (only river I can think of right now that I have an understanding of the size ๐ ) What did you love about it?
Detroit River. It reminded me of the Rhine, a powerful fast deep yet narrow river.
It changed with seasons, it was very active shipping route.
Confluence where river flows into lake.
