When you have your wood delivered, stack it in an alternating grid pattern, spaced to allow as much air circulation as possible for at least 2 weeks before insallation. Water-bourne urethene is an excellent finish. durable, easy to apply and dries fast. I am not familiar with the hardness of eucalyptus, but this will effect the performance. If it is soft at all, it will be a problem. Take a piece of 2x4 and whack it hard. If it leaves a mark, it is probably too soft.
