desec.io shows a location of ns1.desec.io in Sydney. When I check the route from Melbourne to 45.54.76.1 (v4 of ns1.desec.io) with the online traceroute at https://www.telstra.net/cgi-bin/trace, I would expect a routing to the Sydney location with low latency. Instead, I see it first routes to Sydney in about 13ms (good), but then, the route seems to continue in the US taking about 190ms. Is this online tool somehow misleading? Or is the routing to your anycast network configured in a non-optimal way?
