To help you further, what State did they settle in Australia?
You should also be able to track this HEWITT family in great detail down through the Census years 1841 to 1901 via RootsChat - FREE Family History Local History Message Boards and much more.... Then once you have done that you should be able to (get others to) find your ancestors' baptismal, wedding and burial details through Parish records.
At rootschat, then goto their Emigrants to Australia board to see if you can find the siblings of your grandfather and who/m they married, children etc.
