In 2018, Kyle Holbrook embarked on an international tour to Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, as part of his mission to promote art as a tool for peace and education worldwide. During his visit to Melbourne, Holbrook collaborated with Blender Lane and Adrian Doyle, the Director of Blender Studios, to create a mural on Blender Lane, which was named after the organization.

Melbourne, renowned as one of the street art capitals of the world, attracted tourists and art enthusiasts alike. Both Blender Lane and Hose Your Lane, areas where Holbrook worked, were known for their vibrant street art scene. Holbrook's partnership with Blender Lane resulted in the creation of two temporary murals, reflecting his commitment to using art as a medium for social change.

Despite their temporary nature, these murals served as powerful symbols of Holbrook's message. Additionally, Holbrook had the opportunity to tour Blender Studios, allowing him to immerse himself in Melbourne's rich artistic culture and engage with local artists. This experience inspired him to create artwork that resonated with the city's artistic community while also conveying his message of peace and the importance of art education.

Holbrook's artwork in Melbourne was part of his broader international peace tour, which aimed to highlight the significance of art in classrooms worldwide and promote peace through creative expression. By utilizing art as a means to foster community cohesion and cross-cultural understanding, Holbrook sought to address the growing divisions in societies around the world.

In Sydney, Holbrook likely continued his efforts to engage with local communities and promote his message of peace through art, although specific details of his contributions in Sydney during 2018 are not provided in the overview. Overall, Holbrook's tour to Australia in 2018 showcased his dedication to using art as a catalyst for positive social change, leaving a lasting impact on the communities he visited.
