Yeah I know that but Bon moved to Aussie when he was five or six, his accent is totally Aussie. Listen to this interview. He's actually being interviewed by a Scottish guy so you can hear the difference.
Actually Jimmy, Bon is not originally from Australia, his accent still carried at bit of the brog from his homeland of Scottland, that's why sometimes when he talked you couldn't quit keep up with him in a live interview. Angus and Malcolm were born in Scottland too but came to Australia as children so they don't have that.
Biff is from the northern part of England so it would make sense his accent my have been influenced by a bit of scott as well.
As far as pitch goes, I can see where you get that from. The upper range, which bon rarely hit and held for long, does sound close.
My two cents for the day.

Check out that vid budred posted of Wheels Of Steel, sounds very similar to old AC/DC. Not just Byford even the guitaring on that particular song has a 70s AC/DCish sound to it. The obvious difference are Biffs english accent and Bons aussie accent but to me they have the same kind of voice, power etc. This is not a bad thing by the way, just something I noticed.

I've noticed Biff Byford sounds a bit like Bon Scott when he sings, not on all songs but definately on some.
