Title : Vineyard Memorial
Location : -27.278869,152.980339
Brisbane, QLD, Australia
I have been searching for this portal for a long time. I have always thought it was suspect but I have always visited at night. Recently I went there in the day. I stood right on top of the waypoint and there’s nothing. I took a google street view photosphere. I looked closely at the portal photo and it’s photoshopped. The actual location of this portal is -27.259764,152.952883 and is called Ebert Family Vineyard. This portal and many around this area have been submitted by a Pokémon and Ingress player who constantly breaches TOS and abuses the wayfarer system. This portal is conveniently located at his house.

Hey, not photoshopped but more like its an old portal whose actual location has been moved from Lawnton to Old Petrie Town, must of been submitted back when Ingress was in its early days before 2014. Both portals have been scout scanned by myself AEST 10:17 & 10:40 this morning.
attached is the email,expert from the local historican i enquired with about which helped me track down the actual,portal.
Good research TooLegit. Sadly it is photoshopped, but either way it’s illegal. I use the software enough to know when someone’s taken a photo, cut the edges of the object and layer it, albeit badly on top of another photo. Thanks for your help with this ****. I really appreciate you going and scout controlling the portals.
Retired as of 5:24PM AEST. Thanks for looking into it after scout scans etc.
(well got the email informing me of changes done to portal)
Thanks for flagging! We have given it a look and retired the Portal in question.
