Preheat the oven to 130°C (265°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and draw a 20 × 28 cm rectangle on the underside as a guide.
Place the egg whites in a clean, dry mixing bowl. Whisk at medium speed until soft peaks form.
Add the caster sugar gradually, about 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking well after each addition. Continue whisking until the meringue is thick, glossy, and the sugar has dissolved.
Sift the cornstarch over the meringue. Add the white vinegar and vanilla extract, then fold everything together gently until evenly incorporated.
Spread the meringue inside the marked rectangle, creating a shallow depression in the center while keeping the edges slightly raised.
Bake for 75 minutes. Turn off the oven, leave the door slightly open, and allow the pavlova to cool completely inside the oven.
Place the mascarpone in a bowl and beat briefly until smooth. Add the heavy cream and whip until the mixture forms soft, spreadable peaks. Avoid overwhipping.
Transfer the cooled pavlova carefully to a serving platter. Spread the mascarpone cream evenly over the top.
Reserve several strawberries for the flag details, then slice the remaining strawberries. Arrange most of the blueberries over the cream to create the blue field of the Australian flag.
In the upper-left corner, use sliced strawberries and exposed lines of white mascarpone cream to form a simplified Union Jack pattern.
Use small strawberry pieces surrounded by gaps of white cream to suggest the Commonwealth Star and Southern Cross on the blue field.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
