Does anybody know the dreamtime stories of Uluru (Ayer's Rock), Kata Tjuta (the Olgas) and Warrantanga (this one might be spelled wrong but I mean King's Canyon)? For Uluru I remember something with lost kids and a big snake (not the same stories) but unfortunately I don't remember all :(. And if you know an Aboriginal word for "children" that would be great! Thanks a lot in advance!

Children are called 'pickaninies". This is not used in all language, but is generally excepted in most parts of the Northern Territory
You are thinking of the Rainbow Serpent story. The Rainbow Serpent created all the river systems, and turned two warriors that misbehaved into birds.
Try a search into Dreamtime stories, there are heaps of great sites that have extensive Dreamtime stories from many different areas of Australia
