After a 2000 visit to Port Arthur, American singer-songwriter Rod MacDonald wrote and recorded "John King," a song about a real inmate at Port Arthur Prison, with "You're here in Port Arthur for the rest of your natural life" as the concluding line of each chorus.[19] Like the fictional Rufus Dawes, John King may have been wrongly convicted, yet spent his life in the prison. The song appears in MacDonald's 2011 release Songs Of Freedom and in Big Brass Bed's "Dylan Jam + 2" (2009).
In 2012, Melbourne-based artist Philip Davey showed a series of works inspired by the book under the exhibition name "This Fantastic Land of Monstrosities". In 2013, Patricia Payne reintroduced For the Term of His Natural Life in the form of an interactive iPad app
