Exceeding hours on the maintenance release

Gidday, long time reader, first time poster - please be gentle

I've got around 15 hrs on the MR of my bugsmasher and am planning a private flight that'll get close to that. Don't really want to do the 100 hourly before the trip if I can avoid it but will if it has the potential of developing into a nightmare.

Would the buerocrats in Cantberra throw the book at me when I get the 100 hourly done after the trip and I'm an hour or so over, say I've had bad winds or an unscheduled diversion?! Any issues getting the new MR?

Of course sh%t could happen and in that borrowed hour that I'm using to get back to my base the engine quits, now will/could the insurance/a passenger turn around and screw me?

Wise words welcome, who's been there/done that/wouldn't go back/wouldn't think twice risking it again?!
