Mystery Planetary Conjunction

Hi Folks

Anyone up for a challenge?

Found this photo I took about an hour after sunset, many years ago. I can't find this planet conjunction in Stellarium. I thought it was Mars, Venus and Jupiter (top to bottom). But now I am not too sure (perhaps one is a star?). The photo was taken from the suburb of Skye (if I recall) looking west over Adelaide. Perhaps taken in early 1990s? I am sure it was taken more than 20 years ago. I have another conjunction photo of the Moon, Venus, Mars and Jupiter taken on November 24, 1995 (different orientation). And I thought the attached photo was taken around the same time. Not important, but it's becoming a source of frustration.... . Any ideas? Perhaps I am not reading stellarium correctly? Thanks.

Cheers
Steve
