Police believe the 34-year-old woman found with chest wounds is the mother of seven children with the eighth child believed to be a relative.
Queensland state police were called to to the home in the Cairns suburb of Manoora Friday after receiving a report of a woman with serious injuries. When police entered the house, they found the bodies of the children, ranging in age from 18 months to 15 years.
The Guardian reports the children were all stabbed to death.
Detective Inspector Bruno Asincar said he didn't believe there was a multiple murderer still at large and that police were talking to the woman. She was receiving treatment for her injuries and was in stable condition at a hospital.
