Attempts were made to revive her but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

Ms Morella was an enthusiastic traveller who had spent time in Australia, Thailand and Indonesia.

“I love you more than one day I could say,” a close friend wrote.

“At the moment, you can only say that.”

Another friend described her as a “sensitive and loving person”.

“My friend fell yesterday watching the sunset,” the friend posted.

“(She) always called me, always loved me, always been present, wanted to be here for her birthday and sleep here at home but Sydney closed and she (wasn’t) able to come.

“We didn’t talk much this week but we always talk. Every week we video call. Yesterday was her birthday.”

Another wrote: “How it hurts to say goodbye ... at these times, words are so shallow and can’t be enough to demonstrate our pain. You will always be in our hearts.”

Her family, who are in Brazil, have been informed of her death.
