Three of the team's four members hail from Tamworth and will fly the flag for Australia against South Africa in August.
Tamworth's Scott Miller, Todd Carey and Bryson Roser will don the green and gold alongside Albury's Donna Davidson during the three-day competition.
The team has competed together in a variety of events over the past several months in preparation for the tour.

Team member Scott Miller said the team was feeling well prepared for the tour to South Africa.
"To be honest, we have a really good harmony as a team at the moment," Miller said.
"We have competed together for a while now and really are feeling pretty good."
The region will also boast two representatives in Australia's under-21 team.
Gunnedah's Steven Craig will join Tamworth's Jayme Averillo in the under-21 team.
The competition marks the first time the pair will represent Australia, after their last selection for Australia's World Cup campaign was scrapped.
Miller said the honour was "well earned" by the pair.
"It was disappointing to see the World Cup trip get cancelled earlier in the year," Miller said.
"I know both Jayme and Craig were really excited to go to Oman and represent their country.
"They had raised some funds to help go, so those funds will be used for this trip, which is fantastic."
Miller said both Australia's senior and under-21 teams would have their work cut out for them against South Africa.
"They [South Africa] actually came second at that World Cup event," he said.
"They will be tough to beat that's for sure.
"However, I think we are in pretty good form at the moment and have had a really good preparation.
"So, it should be very interesting to see how we go."
The team will come together for one last competition on July 27, to help prepare for the South Africa tour.
"We will all come together for the Queensland state championships in a couple of weeks," Miller said.
"It should be fantastic, and then from there we will head over to South Africa."
Miller said the South Africa trip would not be the last for the Australian team this year.
"After we have finished up in South Africa, I believe we are going over to Germany for a test series against them," he said.
"Honestly, everyone is raring to go and can't wait to get over there."
