Damn Aussie weather...water temp at 35C!

Anyone have any ideas how to stop a 22L tank from heating up quickly because of hot weather?

It's been rather warm here and my tanks are running very hot. So far the gourami and his babies in the 22L (at 35C/95F) are ok. I think I've lost a few of the babies through. When I realised how hot, I put some freeze blocks in there. Is that ok? I'm thinking that if it gets too cold, the heater will kick in.

Any other ideas?

Here is a link to a device, Look at the bottom of the page. It will cool your tank.
