Thanks for the trip report.
I'm planning on heading up there in the next few weeks, so very helpful.
And now I will reinsert my foot in my mouth while my mouth is being inserted in my butt...
From the date, 4th Oct 1980, this marks the day that Disco was officially declared dead.
The letters are translations form the Norse Ruinic. Vikings, obviously.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disco_Demolition_Night(I bet it's a touching tribute to plucky underdogs (GTS, SM, CM, RB, RP, GJ, MH) who did such amazing feats of self-sacrifice that they were memorialised by this plaque and are far better examples of humanity at their lowest than my best can rival....)
Actually, there's a North symbol there. MH is Mount Hotham? No, Hotham isn't to the South-west of anywhere in that area....So it's Mount Howitt? No, I'm clutching at straws....If you allow that we're using circular (spherical in 3d) coordinates...
CM is Mount Clear. SM is Mount Sterling (or Macalister Spur)....? Yep, clutching at straws...RP (reverse because we're going in a circle) is Rocky Point. BR (again reverse) is Brock's Road.
None of that makes sense, because it reverses north and south, and I reverse letters on an ad-hoc basis, to arrive at an answer.
Take two (which totally ignores the location of this marker). MH = Mount Howitt, GTS = (Vallejo) GanTner Springs, MS = Mount Speculation...Nope, I'm done.
