The sombre day started with a dawn service at the Moree and District Services Club, which attracted more than 200 people.
Anzac Day Organiser Roger Butler said Moree Show Society donated their PA system for the service.
This year's Wales Memorial Service honoured Max Wales, one of 17 Australian soldiers killed in action in the Battle of Long Tan during the Vietnam War.
Moree Guides and Brownies supplied morning tea and Anzac biscuits at the main ceremony, held in the Memorial Hall in Balo Street.
Moree Caledonian Society Pipe and Drums and the Moree Town Brass Band gave a rousing performance at the service.
Darryl Brady, a former volunteer of the year and Moree RSL sub-branch member of the year wrote a poem, They March Each Anzac Day, which was recited at the service.
At 10am, a F/A-18F Super Hornet was scheduled to fly over Moree War Memorial Hall, in Balo Street.
The RSL Museum in Balo Street was also scheduled to be open from 2pm.
Similar services were held across the Moree Plains, including at Pallamallawa.
