The Australian C-130J-30s are from 37SQN, 84QG based at Richmond AFB near Sydney.

Australia is also sending an AP-3C Orion from 92WG based at Edinburgh AFB near Adelaide - keep an eye on the underside of its fuselage, if the grid sonar buoy tubes can't be seen immediately aft of the wing trailing edge, then it's probably a special ELINT/SIGINT equipped version called 'Peacemate'.

The deployment is likely being supported by an RAAF C-17 from 36SQN, 86WG at RAAF Amberley near Brisbane, and a KC-30 (SA330 MRTT) from 33SQN, 86WG also based at Amberley.
