FYI -Pouakai circuit/Waiwhakaiho river swingbridge

I was tramping on Taranaki Mountain over the past few days and found the swingbridge that crosses the Waiwhakaiho river was washed away late last month. This effects the course of the Pouakai circuit tramp or any tramp you may plan than involves the Kaiauai Track or the Kokowai Track. I sheepishly admit I learned this the hard way (in heavy rain) rather than through more accomodating routes such as track updates posted around the Taranaki area. I hope this helps somebody.
