Hi Lance
Anzac is a word that in Australia and Newzealand (I suspect maybe) probably carries more weight than any other...
I wont go into it but have a google and I suspect after your readings you may have learnt something close up about Australians and NewZealanders...

So the name of your observatory has an additional signifficance.
