Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove was surrounded with tight security as he greeted visitors to Yarralumla on Sunday.
A queue formed to meet Sir Peter and Lady Cosgrove during the annual charity open day at Government House.
More than 3000 visitors enjoyed brilliant spring weather and free entry to the extensive grounds of the property.
However, bags were searched at the gates and media photographers were asked to demonstrate their cameras were genuine.

A circle of at least six security personnel kept watch on the crowd mingling with the vice-regal couple, while another half dozen were in the grounds close by, along with uniformed police.
Sir Peter led the International Force for East Timor in 1999 and was Chief of the Defence Force during the Iraq war.
He invited visitors inside to see the public areas of the residence, with its heritage furniture and fine art on loan, and spoke about the 400-year tree in the grounds and the lack of flies, compared with his early days at Duntroon.
"Government House Canberra might be the main residence of the Governor-General but it belongs to the Australian people and this is a unique opportunity to see one of the most historic and prominent houses in the country," he said.

Fall is a time for home improvement and fix-up projects, but many people put off jobs becausethey can't find a good contractor or have hada bad experience in the past.
According to Angie Hicks, founder of Angie's List,52 percent ofhomeowners have had problems with a contractor. More than a third of them fired or wish they had fired their contractor before their project was finished, according to a Harris Poll commissioned by Angie's List.
But, there are ways to minimize theangst. Here are 13steps to consider before taking on a project.
1. Clearly define your project: Before you begin talking with contractors, read remodeling magazines and search the Internet for information on designs and materials. Even rough ideas on paper give a potential contractor a better sense of what you hope to accomplish and what is required to make it happen.
2. Management issues: Large projects, especially those that may involve more than three different specialists (i.e. plumber, electrician, carpenter, mason) may go better if you have a general contractor to manage all the various tasks and timelines.
3. Structural issues: Projects that eliminate walls, add rooms or otherwise impact the structural integrity of your home, should involve an architect or a structural engineer.
4. Ask around: Ask neighbors, friends and Angies List about good, local contractors, but dont hire based on only one conversation.
5. Check references: Get names of previous customers and find out if they were pleased with the work and the timeline of the project, and if theyd hire the contractor again. Get the names of subcontractors and ask if they work with the contractor often and does he pay on time. If your prospective contractor balks at providing references, find another one. Check with trade associations to learn how your contractor stacks up among his or her peers.
6. Get estimates: Get at least three written estimates. Documentation is often the best ammunition you have if things go wrong.
7. Where can I reach you? Be cautious of contractors who give you a post office box with no street address, or use only an answering service. Never hire someone who comes unsolicited to your door and cant provide you proof of qualifications especially if he or she pressures you to hire fast and pay cash up front.
