ITINERARIES INSIDE

Make every holiday a spiritual journey...

We draw people together from all over Australia for caring and personalised holiday experiences —

enjoy Fellowship and Friendship with others who share your love of Christ.

“The highlight of the tour was travelling with, and getting to know, other Christians from a variety of backgrounds, churches, experiences, etc.

Fun and laughter, sharing and caring with others.”



Welcome from John and Nancie Cronshaw!

Every year, our family company, Christian Fellowship Tours, operates a programme of enjoyable holidays throughout Australia and Internationally.

A couple of years ago, some of our friends in the Camden Haven area asked us to organise a special tour for them but with not as much travelling, and at a slower pace because they were not able to

go on some of the longer tours. This concept has been very enjoyable, so, through the company of CFT, we have been able to plan some tours that are similar to the tours in the brochure but are more “Stay Put.” These tours are designed to start and finish on the Mid North Coast, for travellers from Sydney and capital cities.

Jason Cronshaw and the team at the CFT office have kindly offered to assist with this small programme and we are extending the invitation to enjoy these short holiday breaks to more people. Proceeds from these tours will continue to assist in the support of the Children’s orphanage in Kenya and the REACH scripture programme in the local Camden Haven High School.

TOUR HIGHLIGHTS


Our National Capital is always an interesting place to visit, and often we are told there needs to be more time visiting. Using our own Canberra Explorer concept, you will be able to spend as much time or as little time as you like in the National Museum, National Art Gallery, Questacon, and the Australian War Memorial.

Organised sightseeing will include Parliament House during sitting sessions with a chance to meet your local Federal Member of Parliament and a tour of this amazing building. We will worship in a little church in the outskirts, that when consecrated was a part of the Diocese of Calcutta.
