Bureau of Meteorology disregards any previous data before 1910 in Australia as "unreliable" because they didn't know what particular type of box they used when measuring temperatures which would have a negligible effect on temperatures *self admitted*.

Having said that, 4 days over 40 is absolutely not even close to the worst heat wave Australia has suffered.

We have had a heatwave recorded in the 1800s that was 4 weeks over 35, with spikes near 50.

They don't use that data because they don't like it.

Read the newspaper from the time if you want. Hundreds of Australians died in this heatwave with reports of 112 Fahrenheit in the shade as the average.

i guess some of that would be due to placement of temp stations
