Additionally in 2008 they didn't seem to allow children(?)

I don't think a bus company goes with the name for a stadium to be fair, but this was probably a sponsorship before it was renamed in 2015-16. The social club to the left (out of view) is generally called "The Arriva Suite"

Rather oddly enough, the place is littered with signs related to the bus company, managed to snap a couple photos there during a christening afterparty in May 2019, i'll see if i can find a way to upload them off my phone.

Ex-Arriva Merseyside Volvo B10B Wright Endurance in Stafford, England, found by sudden chance and the rear license plate was thankfully not blurred in the next frame.

The bus in 2006, i assume it was withdrawn between 2009-2011 as the closest image for the bus when serving with Arriva was taken in August 2009, now strangely enough owned by a company, that keeps the bus... well on a farm, it also looks pretty
badly neglected.

EDIT: So apparently there is this thing in Stafford where farmers seem to get bussed to the farm, but why use a bus? It's so strange...

This has to be the smallest gas station building I've ever seen!

The town this gas station is located in (Marysville) was devastated by the Black Saturday bushfires in early 2009, which wiped out about 90% of the buildings in the town. Prior to the fires, it appears that a Mitre 10 store and a small Mobil gas station occupied the site.

Here's one of the few houses in Marysville that somehow survived the fires.

Another town devastated by the fires was Kinglake. Hardly anything was left after the firefront passed through the town, as this gas station/convenience store shows.

You can still see where the gas pumps were located.
