Location? Gordon River Rd

Does anyone recognise the distinctive pointy mountain in the distance in the photo below? I'm trying to pinpoint where this photo, July 1967, was taken.

Thanks.

Isn't that higher bare ridge to left right (sorry about that, Boss) of your pointy one The Sentinels? And the ridge above the road on the left looks like the southern end of Twelvetrees. I'm probably wrong, but ...

Right on NNW
Although I think you meant the bare rocky bit to the right of the pointy one is the Sentinels?
The pointy one will be Mt Cullen - although the high point is not named on the List.
So probably taken from the road somewhere near White Spur - maybe even the Serpentine lookout

To back that up - this is a recent shot from Serpentine Lookout

I don't know if this helps but I had good weather so it's a fairly clear image.
I took this from Serpentine Lookout in 2016 after a walk up on Twelvetrees Range.

Shoot me. I double-checked and still got the right and left mixed up. Sometimes I hate my brain.

Thanks for all the suggestions. My index now says:

"View SE from Serpentine Lookout to: Atkins Range (The Hermit is on the right side of range), Gordon River Road, Trappes Hill (low hill, middle distance), Mt Cullen (pointy peak behind), Sentinel Range (distant skyline, centre)"

You will not see the Atkins Range from Serpentine Lookout - it has to be the Twelvetree Range
Hermit Hill is the low scrubby top in the gap between Twelvetrees and Trappes Hill with Cullen poking up above it.
Trappes Hill is in front of the Sentinels

Thanks for those corrections, Eggs. I've updated my index.
