Around Coffs Harbour there are a few companies that do rafting
on the Nymboida River, there is also a white water centre near
Grafton in NSW which uses warm water from a hydro power station.
The Olympic Games site at Penrith (Sydney) also has rafting using the
kayak course - which is good with multiple passes down the same
course and a conveyor belt to take you back to the top.
August is mid winter and (by my standards) will be cold so you'll
need someone who rents wetsuits, etc.
In Queensland there are plenty of rafting sites but I'm not sure
about August as its generally dry at that time of year. Cairns area
will have a few companies, do a weblookup on "rafting cairns".
Have a great trip.
