It gets very hot here in Australia too - bunns have big problems in temperatures over 28 degrees Celcius, which calculates as 82°Farenheit, and need to be kept cool, otherwise they can die from heat stroke - I've written an article on symptoms of heat stroke and how to treat -

And, as I also say in my article … many of the breeders we know freeze a soft-drink-bottle full of water, and then put that in their bunny cages - their bunnies then lean against it and keep their body cool (sort of like the reverse of a hot water bottle!). Unfortunately, however, this never worked successfully with our beautiful bunny Dasher, because he kept trying to chew the bottle, so we had to take it away! Try it if you like, but keep a close and continual eye on your bunny when you try it, and make sure he doesn’t chew the bottle … if he were to ingest plastic, he could get a stomach blockage, which would be an even bigger problem.

Another alternative is to use a hard tupperware container (you know, particularly those hard-plastic square ones) - the hard plastic is a little safe (still keep an eye on your bunns that they don't chew them, though!) and additionally, won't roll around.

We know some people who use a big piece of tiling, too - they put it in their fridge to make it cool, and then put it where their bunns can lay against it.

Another really good idea, which I've heard about from bunny-friends but haven't tried myself yet, is to drench a towel with cool water, then ring it out so it's just this side of not-dripping wet, and drape it over your bunn's hutch/cage - apparently this creates a moist, cool microclimate for him.
