AFTER three years in the culinary wilderness an iconic Sunshine Coast restaurant is set to re-open again soon.

Drive down Steve Irwin Way at Glenview and it's hard to miss Daisy's Place - once the favourite stopping point for weary travellers.

Sadly a lack of skilled staff to run the venue forced owner Sue Joseph to shut up shop three years ago.

She made attempts to re-open 12 months ago but failed. But now Daisy's Place will return.

"I am still sorting out the exact opening date but estimate to be about six to eight weeks away," Ms Joseph confirmed this morning.

The history of Daisy's Place dates back to the early 20th century.

Emma 'Daisy' Johnson and her husband Samuel Dorrington Johnson forged a home-made pie and tea eatery in 1923.

Under the shade of the Jowarra Scenic Park, now known as the Mooloolah River National Park it was a frequent stopping point for holidaymakers and locals.

Tragedy struck the Johnsons with the passing of Samuel and their 10-year-old daughter Dot, who were buried at the Mooloolah Cometary down the road.

Daisy continued to work solo until 1978 when she passed and the place changed hands several times.
