An Edward Blewett, aged 18, arrived on the St George in January 1853 (Public Record Office Victoria Unassisted Passenger Lists). The St George was wrecked on arrival off the Heads at Point Nepean in late December 1852. The ship had left Plymouth on 6 August 1852 carrying 240 emigrants. All the emigrants were successfully taken off the foundering ship and landed in Victoria.
If this was Edward Blewett, then there should be a record of his return to England before 1859. An Edward Blewett did return to England on the Blackwall, sailing 1 January 1855 (Public Record Office Victoria Outwards Passenger Lists). However, this Edward was noted as 25 (our Edward would have been 18 or 19). The Blackwall arrived in Plymouth 22 March 1855 (London Daily News, 23 March 1855, p.5, c.4). Longshot.
