Lucky enough to live in sunny QLD. Only suitable storage place available for filled PET bottles is in garage where temperature fluctuates between 20 and 32C on hot days. Is a second fridge to store (not lagering) the beer at a more constant (& lower temp) the way to go - my first fridge is constantly in use as a fermentation fridge. Or should I not worry?

i use a chest freezer with an stc1000 (fridgemate ) controller on it and set to 22 degrees for storing kegs, uses bugger all power at this setting, i have lost a few kegs when i stored at "shed" temp when the mercury climbed over 30deg.
just give a good clean each week to keep the mould away.

If I were you, I'd be looking for one.
 
Does your fermentation fridge have a freezer above it? Mine did, when the fridge was set at 16.5C-18C, the freezer was running at 4-7C. I did notice a difference to some beers in it, but not all.
 
If you have the space go for another fridge should be nice to have a beer store. I don't have that luxury so all my beers have to be stored at ambient which never gets below 22C or above 35C. Most don't lay around long enough to go off. I just stick the ones for drinking into my normal food fridge a day or two before.
