Well, I've consistently read that sowing seeds is the best way to propagate Eucalyptus.

I've also read that you should keep the chaff with the seeds when sowing. Apparently the chaff is beneficial in the germination process.

I've only germinated two species (E. macrocarpa and E. rhodantha). I put the seeds in a cup and made a gruel soak for two days, then spread them on the surface of damp potting soil and covered them lightly with a clear plastic wrap and punched small holes in the wrap. It wasn't too long before I had a bazillion seeds coming up. At first they are slow, but later they begin to gain momentum and become fast growers.

As with any seed, make sure they are fresh.

Seed is readily available. I've germinated Eucalyptus deglupta without any trouble.

Thanks everybody, have just sown a bizillion of them in 1 single pot 4" width, not sure if that is a such good idea, will see if any comes up. I got E. camaldulensis.
