Incorrect routing

I'm much closer to sydney than melbourne but while using nextdns DNS servers, pinging google gives me their melbourne server.

NextDNS servers:

PING google.com (142.250.70.238) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from mel05s02-in-f14.1e100.net (142.250.70.238) icmp_seq=1 ttl=52 time=38.5 ms

While using cloudflare's 1.1.1.1, I get sydney's server

Cloudflare 1.1.1.1:

PING google.com (142.250.67.14) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from syd15s16-in-f14.1e100.net (142.250.67.14) icmp_seq=1 ttl=52 time=21.1 ms

I've set up the DNS server through systemd-resolved
