Don't you know that Moomins prefer very small adventures? They are not awfully brave. :wink:

Without any Googling, I'm pretty sure the ANZ part means Australia & New Zealand, but I've forgotten the AC part. Would you care to enlighten me?

That's two things you didn't know in a week. Picture me amazed.

Australia and New Zealand Army Corps.

Just to add to that, the Anzacs were soldiers who fought for Australia and New Zealand together during World War I. Their legacy is celebrated in both countries every year on Anzac Day (25 April), which also commemorates all soldiers who have ever fought for either country.

How did you hear of the Anzacs, Campin_Cat?

Moomingirl & Murihiku gave you the correct information.

Well, I lived a couple of years in Britain, and they're in one of my many trivia books.

Can it be anything but Ferdinand and Ysabel? Columbus was sailing under Queen Isabel's flag, and I'm pretty sure the F-Y flag was his own.

It was more than 20 years ago, so it's pretty hazy now, but yes, it was a nice place.
