I think you were right about it being Eucalyptus. Another method I think I have not seen is this.
Bury 2 heavy pipe fence posts in cement leaving about 4 or 5 feet sticking up and about 1 foot apart. Back your tiki up to the pipes and drill a couple holes in each pipe and insert 12 inch lag bolts through the pipe and into the wood. It may not look great from the back but the pipes could be painted and hidden with plants. I think that could be done by 1 person and require no lifting of Heavy tiki.
Hope this helps.
