I will try and help you as best I can, as I dont own Aussies, but know people who do and what I have read myself...

Crickets, Superworms, Silkworms, Roaches are all good insect diets, hatchlings and juvies should be fed everday, hatchlings at least twice... as adults they can be fed pinkies and fuzzies if they grow large enough (some even feed full grown adult mice)
Most waterdragons that I know of have rarely eaten greens or fruits, but I would definately try this out, stick with dark leafy greens.

Chinese waterdragons tend to be flighty/nervous, but will get used to you, some wont some will, it depends on the particular dragon. Aussies (remember this is heresay) can be more aggressive towards humans, but according to agama international, if kept in a large enough enclosure, males get along fine. Asians on the other hand can be aggressive towards each other, even females together.

Chinese waterdragons need higher humidity, at least 70%, whereas Aussies need around 50%

Did I miss anything?
